While interviewing to CNN he stated, ?I will not go back to Pakistan for the moment. Purely because there are elements there who have been threatening my life?. Quoting the killing of former Governor Punjab Salmaan Taseer at the hands of his own guard, he said it was better for him to stay until such time as the ideologically motivational hateful rhetoric against him is ended. The former envoy pointed out that whatever advantages and benefits Pakistan gains from NATO supplies, it will not last forever, hammering out terms for resuming the supply-line for allied forces battling in Afghanistan. He observed, ?Pakistanis have to wake up to the fact that whatever advantages they have as the ground line of communication (GLOCs) provider, that advantage is not going to last forever?. In his view, Pakistan needs to crack down on these extremists for the country?s sake, as more Pakistanis have been killed by them then they have killed foreigners. Pakistan will be haunted by the remnants after withdrawal of the NATO forces from Afghanistan, he added. Haqqani was of the opinion that key point remained a gap of trust deficit between the two states and a reduced space within Pakistan to openly discuss pragmatic aspects of the troubled bilateral ties. He asserted, ?We just want to blame our neighbors, our enemies. But we don?t want to take account of what?s wrong at home?. The former ambassador chose an interesting analogy saying they do not want India to create a kind of presence in Afghanistan that the America would not have tolerated if the Soviets created it in Mexico in the Cold War. Proposing honesty as the only solution of all the problems, he said Pakistan needs to discuss its relations with the US honestly and openly within its society, instead of allowing a small group of people ideologically motivated and seeking essentially the domination of an Islamist ideology within Pakistan, but unable to get votes. In his view, nothing comes out of it when domestic politics of the US and Pakistan often come in the form of clash.

Flat as a pancake, housing no rivers and with only few swampy lakes, the jungle somehow managed to sustain one of the biggest and most advanced civilizations of its time. How exactly did the Mayans live for so long in this area without succumbing to drought resulting from lack of healthy potable water? The answer, quite simply, is the cenotes.   Mayan Cenote From the Mayan word ts?onot, meaning well, the cenotes are the exposed surfaces of underground water systems, often revealed in a form similar to sinkholes ? basically big circular pools of water. Apparently the Yucatan is home to the biggest single underwater cave system in the world, thanks to the fact that the entire peninsula is essentially sitting on a large layer of soluble limestone. These cave systems often make their way to the surface and thus the cenotes are revealed. Interestingly, there are theories that the cenotes were originally formed 65 million years ago from the impact of the Chicxulub asteroid; that being the impact that caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and marked the transition from the Cretaceous Period to the Tertiary Period, otherwise known as the K-T Boundary. The asteroid smashed into the north-western portion of the Yucatan and remains to this day one of the largest impact craters on earth. There is a higher-than-normal concentration of cenotes around what would have been the lip of the crater, and this formation has been dubbed the ?Ring of Cenotes?. Regardless of their conception, the simple fact is that the Mayan culture would have been unable to flourish without the influence of the cenotes, and this is evident in the important roles they played in the ancient culture. They were often revered by the Mayans and were certainly central to a number of influential religious ceremonies. Today the cenotes are a major tourist attraction, not just for their history but also for the numerous activities that they offer. Our first cenote experience was in the town of Valladolid, found near the centre of the Yucatan Peninsula. Cenote Zaci is found a short Mayan Cenote walk from the city centre and so provided an easy way of sampling the sacred waters. A quick stoop through an open cave suddenly opened out into a huge pit at least fifty feet below us, green water filled with swimming tourists. The pool was half covered under a cave roof complete with stalactites and bats and the jungle leaned in over the water. An artificially constructed walkway was cut into the stone around the cenote and provided ample viewing platforms. The scale of the cenote was larger than we both expected and I found it surprisingly majestic, although the water itself didn?t look overly clean. Our next glimpse of a cenote occurred a few days later when we visited the ruins of Chichen Itza. Known as the Sacred Cenote, it is the very reason that the ancient city sprang up in this particular place, and also the subject of some very dark rumours. Legend has it that the Mayans used to throw virgins into the cenote as a sacrifice to the gods, chucking them in at dawn and returning at dusk. If the virgin was still alive after treading water all day then she would be hauled out to make prophetic observations regarding crops and weather. The truth of these stories is hotly debated but it cannot be ignored that an inordinate amount of skeletons have been pulled up from the depths of the Sacred Cenote. Our final cenote experience was by far the most memorable as it gave us an opportunity to snorkel and dive through an underwater cave system just north of Tulum. I first decided to do this prior to leaving Australia after watching the wondrous segment on BBC?s Planet Earth documentary, where they dived in Dos Ojos. It showed a remarkable underwater landscape and I longed to experience it for myself. Mayan Cenote At Tulum we decided to travel to the nearby Hidden Worlds adventure park for our snorkel adventure, primarily because it has access to the Dos Ojos system. From the main foyer area we walked about five hundred metres or so into the jungle to arrive at a small sign and shelves, next to what was essentially a deep hole in the ground. We stripped down, put on our life jackets and were guided down into the hole, where it descended about thirty feet into a cold and dank cave. The first thing we noticed was the sharp drop in temperature. Above ground it was stiflingly hot and humid, whereas thirty feet underground the air was dank and chilly. We walked hesitantly along a plank of wood to the waters edge, where we dipped a toe in to receive an unwelcome but not unsurprising shock ? the water was absolutely freezing. Nevertheless we waded in with our shorts and swimmers, following our guide who was in a full wetsuit, to begin our snorkelling tour. What followed was an hour of the most amazing experiences that I have yet encountered. The scenery was breathtaking ? floodlights illuminated crystal clear water, revealing spectacular rocky formations as well as ominous underwater caverns that darkened away into the depths. It would have been quite eerie if not for the keen sense of wonder that I felt as I floated around. Unfortunately Renee did not fare quite as well, and indeed the deeper areas ? and the unknown that they hid ? caused her some concern. I can understand why, especially when we arrived at a long and narrow section where the lights had stopped working. We made our way through by touch, a faint illumination ahead the only reference point, the darkness around us nearly palpable in its entirety and the only sounds Renee?s shallow and rapid breath. We emerged unscathed though into another spacious cavern to marvel at the rocks around us and the multitude of Glow Worms that hung from the ceiling, before reluctantly returning to the surface. Three cenotes, three different experiences. They are truly wondrous in their diversity, and I thoroughly recommend experiencing as many as you can. The snorkelling was without a doubt the highlight and I can only imagine how amazing it would be to dive these caverns. If I was to ever get my diving license, there is no doubt that I would return to Dos Ojos to be amazed all over again.

Hidden Worlds Cenote  Park In Xel-ha, Mexico   Mayan Cenote The caverns, called cenotes, that envelop one the world?s longest systems of underground waterways are gaining in popularity, and with good reason. These natural wonders stretching across the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico are some of the most beautiful places you can explore. Visitors are invited to dive deep into these freshwater sinkholes, that are chock full of stalagmites, stalactites, and other rock formations. Exploring the area can be done in a number of ways. At Hidden Worlds Cenotes Park, guides are available to lead adventurers of all ages through the dense tropical forest and into the caves. Many choose to start with snorkeling, getting their feet wet and whetting their appetite for more. These tours are held throughout the day and are designed to be enjoyed by the whole family. No previous experience is necessary. Dives are also arranged for certified open water divers who wish to explore deep within the cenotes. The maximum depth of the water is 30 feet, and divers are never more than 150 feet from air. You can enjoy 1,500 feet of cavern without ever leaving the light zone. The natural beauty of the cave formations and the clear blue water cause visitors to reflect on the awesome natural forces that have been the cause of this phenomenon. Outside the caves a 600 foot zip line allows you to get a good look at the canopy from the air, and travel throughout the forest with ease.   Mayan Cenote Perhaps the most appealing option for many is the Sky Cycle. This two and a half hour adventure takes riders through the high jungle canopy, down through a short section of natural cave, and finally through a cenote that is overflowing with green palms and exotic plants. The whole time, riders are suspended on a steel cable and can pedal at their own pace. The circuit is a kilometer long, and there is a pause halfway through the trek. Here, at the Tak-Bi-Luum cenote visitors have the chance to don snorkel gear and life jackets and take a swimming tour of this underground river. The crystal clear freshwater, combined with the remarkable cave formations is truly a remarkable sight. Hidden Worlds Cenotes Park is dedicated to providing visitors with a real jungle experience. Although it is a popular vacation destination, it is not overrun with tour buses and souvenir shops. The main focus of the park and its staff is to lead you through the jungle, and help you to appreciate the natural beauty of the area.

It offers an amazing swimming/snorkel area in the middle of the dense Mexican jungle. It is a divers dream world with sensational rays of light beaming down through the water before mid day. Most of the dive is accompanied by views of the jungle above the cenote. The halocline is located around 10m and makes for an optical illusion when the fresh and salt waters mix. El Eden also offers cave diving interconnecting with some of the nearby Cenotes. All and all another one of the amazing cavern dives in the Mayan Riviera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_15Vyocbls Mayan Cenote.

Biblioteket, hvor vi plejer at mødes, var lukket, så vi havde aftalt, at vi i stedet skulle mødes hos Ulla. Hendes nabo, Søgaard, lektor og forhenværende lærer på Handelsskolen, havde vi lavet en aftale med. Han havde valgt bogen, som vi så sammen skulle analysere. Jeg kan huske ham som en frisk og dygtig lærer på handelsskolen, som jeg godt kunne lide. Han sagde da også, at han godt kunne huske mig fra handelsskolen, det var dig, der altid sad og halvsov. Jeg valgte at tro, det var en joke. Han have valgt bogen Perlen af forfatter John Steinbeck. Handler om en fattig indianer familie som bor i Mexico nær den Mexicanske Golf. Faderen finder en kostbar perle, og han får straks store planer. Men det går ikke, som han ønsker. En rigtig trist fortælling.  Flere af os havde læst bogen før, enten denne bog eller andre af samme forfatter. Ingen af os har nogen professionel tilgang/måde at analysere en bog på, men jeg skal da lige love for, vi denne gang kom i dybden. Søgaard havde læst bogen masser af gange, og hver gang finder han nye ting, fordi der er så mange lag i bogen, som han belærte os om. Hver eneste sætning, ja hver eneste ord fortæller noget. Man kommer til at tænke på, om forfatteren virkelig havde ment alt det, vi denne gang fik ud af historien, ved at få det hele pillet fra hinanden. Jeg tror, Søgaard blev skuffet, da han så listen over tidligere bøger, vi har læst. Savnede nogle klassikere, sagde han. Vi blev enige om at mødes om et år igen, og han nævte også, at vi der skal læse forfatteren Ernest Hemingway.               Lise Lauridsen Skleroseramt Tue, 15 May 2012 15:23:49 +0100 http://rikkebergquist.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/mexicansk-valg-kan-aendre-krigen-mod-narko/ 50.000 døde på mindre end seks år.

According to the media reports, Cameron Munter will quit his post in the coming summer. The US is mulling to appoint Richard Oslo, who has engineered US development and economic affairs in Afghanistan, hoping to improve dismal relations with Islamabad at a crucial time for its war against terrorism. The White House will formally propose the name of Olson while the Senate will confirm the posting. The White House, however, refused to confirm or reject the report. Olson is a senior US diplomat and had served for his country at different key posts. He joined the U.S. Department of State in 1982 and has served in Mexico, Uganda, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates and in Najaf, Iraq. Ahead of returning to the UAE he served as Deputy Chief of Mission at the United States Mission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The new assignment will be a tough task for Oslo as Pakistan and the United States are going through difficult phase their relationship because the former has blocked NATO supplies to Afghanistan due to incursion on Salala check-post that killed 24 Pakistani troops in last November. Cameron Munter was appointed as ambassador to Pakistan in October 2010 and has gone through a period of unprecedented turbulence and suspicion between the duo states. Among the many bilateral crises in the last one and a half years included Pakistan?s apprehension of a CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) contractor Raymond Davis in early 2011; the top-secret US Special Forces raid that killed Osama bin Laden in garrison town of Abbottabad; and Pakistanis? objection over ongoing US drone attacks in Tribal Areas. The US police also shifted toward Pakistan in recent tenure of Cameron Munter. Due to two-sided mistrust and frustration, high level visits and massive civil and military aid have slowly been overtaken. Although the expected nomination of Olson does not appear to represent a change to US policy toward Pakistan, it could allow a fresh start after a dark period.

Med andre ord, så er det nu et år siden at Javier Sicillas søn, Juan Francisco Sicilia, blev dræbt. Hans døde krop blev fundet i bydelen Las Brisas i byen Temixco i delstaten Morelos sammen med ligene af seks andre unge mennesker, der alle blev ofre for den udbredte vold i Mexico. Allerede fra de første morgentimer skrev nationale aviser, som f.eks. Milenio, om mindebegivenheden: Con la asistencia de unas cien personas, cantidad mucho menor a la que lo acompañó hace un año, Javier Sicilia, Julián LeBarón y familiares de otras víctimas de la delincuencia iniciaron la jornada de 12 horas para conmemorar el aniversario de la muerte del hijo del poeta y de otros seis jóvenes, cuyos cuerpos fueron hallados en el fraccionamiento Las Brisas, en Temixco, Morelos. En la fuente de la Paloma de la Paz, Sicilia señaló que la ausencia de más acompañantes en este aniversario se debe a que la sociedad ya aprendió a tolerar lo intolerable y que, de cara a los comicios electorales, quien en realidad pierde, consideró, es la sociedad. A un año del multihomicidio, Sicilia declaró que no hay justicia en este caso porque hasta ahora no hay ninguna persona sentenciada. Med deltagelse af omkring hundrede personer, hvilket er meget mindre end det antal, som fulgte Javier Sicilla for et år siden, påbegyndte digteren, sammen med Julián LeBarón og familiemedlemmer til de andre ofre, den tolv timer lange mindehøjtidelighed. De mindedes mordet på Javiers afdøde søn, samt seks andre unge mennesker, hvis kroppe blev fundet i Las Brisas i Temixco, Morelos. Sicilla talte ved den symbolske fontæne Fredsduen i Cuernavaca, og understregede at det begrænsede fremmøde skyldtes at det mexicanske samfund allerede har lært at tolerere det som ikke bør tolereres. Sicilla fremhævede at med udsigterne til genvalg af de ansvarlige politikere, vil det være det mexicanske samfund, der bliver taberen. Sicilla understregede at retfærdigheden endnu ikke er sket fyldest, fordi ingen personer er blevet dømt skyldige, på trods af at der er gået et år siden massemordet. I løbet af 2011 blev mange demonstrationer afholdt, som denne i Puebla. Billede fra Flickr-brugeren FotoyMensaje, benyttet under licensen (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0). På bloggerplatformen The Narcosphere skrev Karina González om bevægelsens rødder: Todo empezó hace un año tras el asesinato de Juanelo, hijo de 24 años del poeta Javier Sicilia, como consecuencia de la violencia por esta guerra. Los ciudadanos salieron a la calle  y con el grito de ?¡Estamos hasta la madre!? vencieron el miedo. El movimiento que nació en Morelos puso en marcha a miles de personas para denunciar los estragos de la guerra y sacar del anonimato a las víctimas. Det hele begyndte for et år med mordet på Juan, den 24-årige søn af digteren Javier Sicilia, som døde på grund af denne voldelige krig. Med råbet ?Vi har fået nok!? gik folket på gaden og vandt over frygten. Bevægelsen, som begyndte i Morelos, har sat gang i tusindvis af mennesker, der protesterer mod denne voldskrigs ødelæggelser, og som vil hive ofrene ud af anonymitetens svøbe. På årsdagen udsendte Mexicanere i Schweiz for Fred følgende brev på deres blog for at støtte bevægelsen: Nosotros, Mexicanos viviendo en Suiza; Manifestamos con fuerza que la distancia que nos separa fisicamente de nuestro país, es nada cuando nuestros corazones se quedaron en México. Amamos, respetamos y sufrimos de igual manera que ustedes. El clima de violencia por el cual atraviesa nuestro país nos duele profundamente y nos indigna. Por eso queremos decirles que desde Suiza estamos con ustedes en la lucha, Aún así, estando a miles de kilómetros. Porque como dice el escritor alemán Bertolot Brecht : « Quien lucha, puede perder. Quien no lucha, ya ha perdido.? Con ustedes luchando por un México en paz. Vi, mexicanere der bor i Schweiz, vil gøre det klart at den afstand, som adskiller os fysisk fra vores land, intet betyder, fordi vores hjerter stadig er i Mexico. Vi elsker, respekterer og lider i samme grad som jer. Den voldsbølge, som hærger vores land, smerter os dybt og skaber både vrede og harme. Her fra Schweiz vil vi derfor fortælle jer, at vi står ved jeres side og deler jeres kamp, på trods af de mange kilometer, som adskiller os. Som den tyske forfatter Bertol Brecht skriver: ?Den der kæmper kan tabe. Den der ikke kæmper har allerede tabt?. Vi kæmper i fælleskab for et fredeligt Mexico. Animal Político (Politisk Dyr) samlede et par anekdoter, som Sicilia fortalte om sin afdøde søn, især om sønnens begejstring for fodbold og holdet Clúb América: ?Mi hijo Juan tenía una sola falla ?se lamenta Javier Sicilia?: era americanista, en eso nunca lo pudimos corregir?. El poeta mira a su costado, donde su compadre, Francisco, corrobora sus palabras con un gesto afirmativo de la cabeza. “Min søn Juan havde kun én brist” ? brokker Javier Sicilia sig - ?han var  América-fan. Denne fejl kunne vi aldrig rette op på?. Digteren ser til siden, hvor hans gudfar, Francisco, bekræfter hans ord med et anerkendende nik med hovedet. På Twitter benyttede præsidentkandidaten Josefina Vázquez (@JosefinaVM) lejligheden til at vise sin støtte ved at sende en besked til Javier Sicilia: Un abrazo solidario a Javier Sicilia, Gaby Cadena y los padres de los jóvenes asesinados hace un año. Su lucha no es en vano. En solidarisk omfavnelse til Javier Sicilia, Gaby Cadena og forældre til de andre ofre, som blev myrdet for et år siden. Jeres kamp er ikke forgæves. Journalisten Katia D'Artigues (@kdartigues) reflekterede over den smertefulde mindedag: Hace un año, hoy, Javier Sicilia estaba a unas horas de que le cambiara su vida. I dag for et år siden var Javier Sicilia kun et par timer fra den begivenhed, som skulle komme til at ændre hans liv. Twitter-brugeren @lafalconielsa udtrykte sine følelser over for aktivisten: Dirán lo que quieran, pero yo amo a Javier Sicilia De kan sige hvad de vil, men jeg elsker Javier Sicilia Brugeren @roblesmaloof begrænsede sig ikke kun til at udtrykke sig om Sicilia-familien, men dedikerede sin twitter-besked til andre ofre, som er repræsenteret af Bevægelsen for Fred med Retfærdighed og Værdighed: Hoy como todos los días, pensamos en don #Nepomuceno Moreno, quien como muchas madres y padres, fue asesinado por buscar a su hijo #MPJD I dag, ligesom alle andre dage, sender vi vores tanker til Hr. #Nepomuceno Moreno, som så mange andre forældre, blev myrdet blot fordi han ledte efter sin søn #MPJD Man kan læse flere reaktioner og reportager om årsdagen ved at følge hashtagsne #MPJD,#hastalamadre, #AniversarioMPJD. Bevægelsens officielle Twitter-side (@MxLaPazMx) bragte opdateringer om aktiviteter i løbet af dagen. Som beskrevet af Global Voices siden august 2011, består den aktivisme, som praktiseres af Sicilia og den bevægelse han leder, i høj grad af den kommunikation og udveksling af meninger der foregår via blogs og Twitter. Håbet om at situationen i det nordamerikanske land forandrer sig til det bedre, er på mange måder det eneste, der forener bevægelsens mange aktører. Skrevet af J.

Deuce udtales ‘duus’, så Iris fandt hurtigt på Skum-fidus. Nu kan både Sean og White-Eagle sige skumfidus, et dansk ord som ikke er så svært at sige. Nå men Skumfidus er jo den hund, vi deler bolig med.

A notable feature of the home is a powder room situated atop an unused 15-story elevator shaft. “A characteristic feature of the project is that a volume that was originally intended for a second elevator and was never installed becomes a powder room with a glass floor that looks down all the 15 levels, the PPDG penthouse is a great versatile modulated space, with great views all this with the concepts of transparency and the simplicity of materials”, Hernandez Silva Arquitectos says. via LauraJul LauraJul Tue, 01 May 2012 00:46:58 +0100 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/what2012/~3/8YjUI0kocmY/ Måske et godt trick for boligejere, der ikke kan finde købere til huset: Gør som den spanske landsby Júzcar, mal hele skidtet smølfe-blå.More: Turist-succes: Malede hele byen smølfe-blå administrator What!?
