Valla's workshop is a rosebud thing, a space dormant yet alive, small but pristine and filled to the brim with canisters and reels and photo albums and the tools to navigate each of them. Here is memory's cathedral, and sin's abattoir.

She glides from behind a silk drape, her fingers trailing across it, her gaze settling on the man before her with an appraising eye. He appears purposeful, a figure of intention, yet she senses an undercurrent, a depth that belies mere purpose or intent. It's not ambition that brings people to her threshold; it is shame, remorse, and guilt.

"Hello," she greets, her voice a silken blend of inquiry and neutral understanding. "Art thou seeking to erase thy own memories, or someone else's?" A gentle probe into the labyrinth of motives that has led him to her workshop, words that echo the ancient seeds of her upbringing.

The Train Ride

            Stepping upon the train, a man can hardly be expected to look behind him and spot the strange fellow wearing a suit and fedora whose very presence seems anomalous to the otherwise unremarkable, drab day despite his being, to the eye, nothing truly extraordinary. Indeed, the student neglected to note this very man, and so he did not notice that the fellow in the fedora followed his every move, taking care to sit two places behind the student once they had boarded the train. It was not until the sensation of being watched began to prick the back of the student’s neck that it occurred to him that, perhaps, something was amiss and, perhaps, he ought to investigate what. But what could possibly be incorrect in such an utterly average day? Though the sky was overcast, the promise of sunshine skulked about the clouds, and the notion of a bright day cheered the student, allowing him to dismiss this hair-on-end sensation.

            Even so, the feeling of being watched only increased as the train ride progressed until the student could no longer occupy himself with his pretty notions of the future and was forced, rather, to regard the present somewhat more. “Who on earth is watching me?” he wondered, and he attempted to turn his head somewhat that he might perceive, from the corner of his eye, who it was that regarded him all while without appearing to be looking for whomever it was. Despite his efforts, he was unable to ascertain the location of the culprit. Two men sat behind him, one with a newspaper that could hide his searching eyes and one man whose face was obscured by a hat. The student found the latter to be a chilling presence for no reason he could specify – the man certainly appeared sturdy and strong but he was by no means a giant, imposing figure or a dark mystery full of shadow and menace whose only discernible features were ones suggesting a life of battle and strife. On the contrary, the man appeared to be a simple laborer whose body had been shaped and hardened by his work but who was, for all intents and purposes, an average fellow of no remarkable character.

            Despite this, many of the train’s passengers seemed to shy away from the man in the hat as if he were a known criminal. Many of the women on the train glanced at him quickly and looked away, urging their children to view the sights outside the train’s windows rather than peer at the imposing yet less-than-noteworthy figure of the man in the fedora.

            The student felt a chill run down his spine and, perturbed, turned his gaze resolutely ahead. A great fear of the man in the fedora welled up in him, though he could hardly name the reason for his dread. Unexpectedly, he recalled something his father had once said when in an especially somber mood. The phrase had been “All men must one day be held accountable for their past actions.”

Disturbed by this sudden remembrance, the student frantically considered all that he had done in recent memory but could discern nothing particularly damning and thus began to feel more at ease. In this way, he forcibly pushed all thoughts of the man in the fedora and his steady gaze from his mind (though, indeed, doubt and fear nibbled at the base of his skull) and focused instead on the view rushing by him outside the window. However, the view confounded him, being somehow different than that which he was accustomed to seeing during his commute to his university. The landscape appeared warped with trees that stood at incorrect angles and fields that undulated like snakes. The water that the train passed appeared to be an ill-gotten, sulfuric color that steamed, and the buildings were oddly skewed as though Salvador Dali had been at them. The student blinked, rubbed his eyes, and stared hard at the sights outside the windows, and, for a moment, they appeared to clarify into something approaching normalcy, but almost as soon as he was reassured that all was as it ought to be, they transformed back into something ungodly. Disconcerted, the student turned from the window and peered about the train car to see if any of the other passengers had noticed the change. He was startled to find that each and every person on the train was utterly calm and composed, almost as if they had met the eye of Medusa.

            As he looked about himself, the student’s eyes fell again upon the man in the fedora who, alone of those in the train car, seemed to be awake and aware. Further, the entirety of his attention was focused upon the student who, in meeting the man in the fedora’s eye, blushed and turned away, looking instead at his hands which fidgeted in his lap. It was then that the man in the fedora chose to rise, standing slowly, with no sound. The student’s entire being became focused upon the steady rise of the man in the fedora who proceeded to walk down the aisle between the seats toward where the student sat. Once there, he turned toward the student and, calling him by name, asked him, “Do you have any regrets?” The student stared at him in shock and stuttered, “E-excuse me?” only to hear the man in the fedora repeat himself.

            Now that he could see him closer, it was clear that the man in the fedora was, in fact, fairly advanced in age with a work-hardened body and a long, wrinkled, weathered face. Had it not been for the way in which he stared down his nose at the student, one may have been tempted to call him a kindly-looking old gentleman. As it was, the sight of the man’s withered mouth made fear pulse through the student’s veins.

            The student said, “I don’t know what you mean, sir.” The man in the fedora again repeated himself but now with an unmistakable menace in his voice. The student merely shook his head, his throat parched, his voice lost. The man in the fedora then told him, “You have sinned greatly, my son, and you must, therefore, repent or be punished. Do not use your idealism as an excuse, as a chance to hide away the facts. Face up to what you have done! Repent now or accept your fate!”

            The student’s entire body shook, and he was suddenly wracked by waves of nausea such that he wished only to spill the contents of his stomach upon this unearthly man’s immaculate shoes. He stared at the shine they gave off, seeing himself reflected there, and imagined himself to be little more than a bug. Even as he thought it, he could feel himself shrinking, down, down to the size of a cockroach. The seats became insurmountable plateaus, his own baggage a weight all too capable of crushing him, his clothes a dreadful sheet that smothered and frightened him. Most fearful of all was the man in the fedora who reared up as if a god, booming in a voice like thunder with his index finger aimed at the student who cowered beneath its undeniable intention.

            “Will you not repent?” boomed the man in the fedora. “Will you not save your pitiful husk of a soul? You, who have sinned not only in your body but in your mind, in your heart, will you not accept this final offer of goodwill bestowed upon you?” “I do not know what you mean!” the student squeaked. “I do not understand, I cannot find your meaning!” The man in the fedora shook his great, husk of a head. “Then there is no hope for you, who cannot even recognize his own sins. Fly, then, demon spawn, fly to the place of your birth to make good on your sin for eternity. Forget all happiness and abandon all hope, for today is the day that you atone for you misdeeds. Your presence is death to all near you, your continued existence a black mark that draws devils to your loved ones. At this very moment, your beloved father lies dying upon his sick bed while you fly away to your university of ignorance to further your own joy, leaving the man who sired you to his demise. And have you treated your mother, your siblings, your friends any better? No, certainly not. Thus, remove yourself from this paltry scene, and cast thyself away to the fires that await you even now.” And with this, the man in the fedora turned away from the student, pointing to the door at the end of the train car which now slid open with the sound of scraping metal. “Go now,” the man in the fedora said. “Go now to your fate.”

            Immediately, the student leapt to his feet and pushed past the man in the fedora, crying “No more! No more! Torment me no more!” Tears in his eyes and bile in his throat, the student ran to the end of the car, passing through the open door which slammed shut behind him and, pausing only to take in the unearthly scenery of the outside world, threw himself from the train, landing upon the rails as a broken heap with the words “I never meant you any harm!” drying on his lips.

UNTUK APA SEKOLAH...?

.

.

Lini masa media sosial saya dipenuhi dengan segala macam iklan Artificial Intelligence (AI). Isinya aneh-aneh dan semua menawarkan cara ringkas, murah, dan cepat -- bahkan lebih cepat dari Lucky Luck yang menembak lebih cepat dari bayangannya -- untuk menulis.

Ada yang menawarkan menulis buku dengan Artificial Intelligence (AI). Hanya dalam waktu 6 jam, buku selesai dan bisa dijual. Menulis buku secepat kilat dengan bantuan Artificial Intelligence (AI)...? Dan terus anda mengaku bahwa anda-lah penulisnya....?

Yang lebih absurd lagi adalah menjualnya. Bagaimana menjual buku dimana semua orang sudah bisa menulis buku dengan mudah...? Tentu akibatnya pengarang buku bisa diproduksi massal. Semua orang bisa menulis buku! Siapa yang membaca buku disaat semua orang bisa menulis buku...?

Elemen terpenting dari sebuah buku, dan juga semua karya manusia, ada pada kreativitasnya. Pada sebuah karya menempel keunikan penciptanya. Kalau anda percaya pada agama, dirimu itu adalah citra dari Penciptamu. Begitulah kira-kira.

Awal abad ke-20, ada seorang pemikir yang bernama Walter Benjamin. Ia menulis sebuah esei bagus yang berjudul : Karya seni di masa reproduksi mekanis. Apa yang terjadi ketika karya seni itu mampu direproduksi secara mekanis...? Lukisan Salvador Dali yang berjudul Visage du Grand Masturbateur (Face of the Great Masturbator), misalnya, bisa direproduksi secara massal. Lalu, dimana Salvador Dali ketika ia sudah menjadi massal....?

Benjamin mengatakan bahwa reproduksi itu akan mendevaluasi (Devalue) aura atau keunikan dari karya seni tersebut. Aura atau keunikan dan kekhasan itulah yang tidak dapat direproduksi.

Menulis buku itu sama belaka. Ketika semua orang bisa menulis buku dengan Artificial Intelligence (AI) maka hasilnya adalah sebuah cetakan yang tidak bernilai, tidak ada kekhasan, tidak ada keunikan, dan terlebih lagi tidak ada proses kreatif didalamnya.

Banyak orang mengatakan bahwa Artificial Intelligence (AI) sudah sedemikian kreatif sehingga bisa mengkombinasikan triliunan informasi. Artificial Intelligence (AI) memiliki kemampuan yang melebihi kapasitas otak manusia. Sekalipun demikian, menurut saya ada yang tidak bisa ditiru oleh Artificial Intelligence (AI) yang justru membuat manusia itu super kreatif: kebodohan....!

Anda jangan mengira bahwa dunia ini diciptakan oleh super jenius. Tidak. Ia adalah kombinasi antara Kejeniusan dan Kegoblokan pada saat yang bersamaan. Kesalahan, kekurangpandaian, kecerobohan, kelalaian, itu sama persis dengan kebenaran, kejeniusan, ketelitian, dan ketertiban.

Hanya saja, kita terobsesi pada kejeniusan, kepintaran, dan kesempurnaan. Obsesi inilah yang secara kultural menjebak kita. Kita ingin anak-anak kita menjadi jenius dan mencekokinya dengan angka-angka bahkan sejak dia lahir. Kita ingin mereka menjadi sempurna sehingga kita mencekoki mereka dengan agama sejak mereka belum bisa mencerna makanan. Kita terobsesi dengan sukses dan hidup mudah dengan mengambil banyak jalan pintas.

Yang terjadi adalah kita mengabaikan sama sekali proses pembentukan manusia. Proses kreatif untuk menjadi manusia. Saya percaya bahwa unsur terpenting dari menjadi manusia itu adalah memahami proses kreatif ini. Bahkan para matematikawan atau fisikawan agung ini menemukan banyak rumus sains pertama-tama karena mereka kreatif! Bukan karena IQ mereka yang berlebihan.

Inilah yang membawa saya kepada iklan seperti gambar di bawah ini, yang saya kira mungkin juga pernah anda lihat di lini masa anda. Ia menawarkan jalan pintas untuk lulus -- jalan pintas untuk menulis skripsi! Apa poinnya bersekolah jika tidak untuk mengasah diri untuk menjadi kreatif dan menemukan sesuatu...?

Apa gunanya sekolah jika tidak melatih diri untuk berpikir kritis -- menemukan masalah baru, menganalisa sebab-akibatnya, dan menemukan perspektif baru untuk memahaminya, sehingga ada kemungkinan menemukan jalan keluar yang baru...?

Saya tahu, ada banyak konsumen yang mau jalan pintas. Sebelum ada Artificial Intelligence (AI), sudah banyak jasa pembuatan skripsi, tesis, dan disertasi. Harganya pun semakin lama semakin murah. Saya kenal orang yang hanya lulusan S1 namun dengan bangga bercerita kepada saya bahwa ia mengerjakan disertasi seorang Doktor...!

Ini benar-benar terjadi. 'It's just a business," kata dia dalam bahasa Inggris kepada saya. Boleh jadi ia berpandangan sinis kepada dunia pendidikan kita. Tidak bisa disalahkan karena rancang bangun dunia pendidikan kita memang gampang diselewengkan.

Sarjana macam apakah yang dihasilkan oleh reproduksi mekanik, meminjam istilah Benjamin, seperti ini...? Tentu jawabnya, sarjana tanpa aura kesarjanaan, ilmuwan tanpa pengetahuan, serta akademisi mekanik yang sangat jauh dari nilai-nilai dan tradisi akademik.

Namun, kesarjanaan tanpa pengetahuan ini diperlukan dalam dunia nyata kita sekarang ini. Ia diperlukan sebagai Ajektif atau Predikat -- Kementerengan dalam undangan perkawinan, Kemegahan dalam kekuasaan, dan bahkan sebagai syarat untuk naik Pangkat...!

Dalam dunia reproduksi mekanis ini, kesarjanaan itu tidak ada hubungannya dengan pengetahuan. Tidak ada hubungannya dengan aura dan kreativitas. Tidak ada hubungannya dengan tingkat intelektual seseorang.

Ia mirip seperti Gelar Rristokrasi yang diobral oleh kraton-kraton yang sudah luntur wibawa, pengaruh, dan kekuasaannya. Universitas-universitas kita adalah kraton-kraton itu. Sementara toga wisuda semakin mentereng, isi kepala dibawah topi wisuda itu semakin kosong karena semua dikerjakan mesin. Salahkah kalau kemudian, sebagai lulusan, Anda dipekerjakan seperti mesin...?

Untuk Anda yang masih menghargai kreativitas pikiran, tempat Anda adalah dunia luas ini. Dan, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tidak akan dapat mengalahkan Anda, karena Anda masih bisa goblok, bisa salah, dan tidak sempurna. Yang terpenting Anda bisa membangun aura Anda diantara kegobolkan dan kejeniusan Anda.

Publicerade Artiklar

PUBLICERADE ARTIKLAR! Jag vill ge dig ett "smörgåsbord"🤗, att välja och vraka utifrån, och dela vidare ifall du så önskar. Det är ca 74 tidningar i 24 länder som publicerat mina artiklar genom åren, i Sverige, Finland, Norge och utomlands som t ex Indien, Ghana, El Salvador osv. Då på svenska, finska, norska, danska, engelska, spanska m fl andra språk. Ca 146 artiklar, All ära och pris till Herren Jesus!☝️💯 Det som glädjer mig personligen mest är att många sekulära, vanliga dagstidningar (62 stycken) publicerat, ganska ofta väldigt evangelistiska inlägg. Sålunda har ungefär 800 000 läsare i Norden, flera miljoner utomlands fått kristna, evangelistiska budskap i sin egen dagstidning, vilket medfört att de flesta läser…En del artiklar är "vanliga", icke-evangelistiska som i DN, då blev läsekretsen förståss större. Visst behöver även Guds folk läsa matnyttiga och mer rejäla ”kristna” artiklar, så jag är tacksam att dessa också nått ut via kristen media, men när icke-troende får evangeliet direkt i sin egen profana dagstidning så är det Hallelujaläge! Och ett knäböjande Böneläge🙏 Vi förmår inget om inte Gud griper in; rör vid, drar människan, uppenbarar sanningen och sig själv…

Gud lade skrivandet i hjärtat mitt som ett uppdrag, jag började skicka in artiklar för över 20 år sedan och möttes av total tystnad, likgiltighet, nej, artiklarna var inte "världsklass", men sanning. Det är när du både träffar prick på sanning och levererar det i "språkliga uppenbarelser", där läsaren känner igen dessa sanningar i tanke och själ, i erfarenhet och även i Anden för den troende, då blir artikeln bra, och detta vet tidningsredaktörer.

Det mest givande blir att vandra tillsammans i texten, så att de flesta förstår, hellre enkelt och rakt språk, men inte banalt, nej, väljer vi de rätta orden som träffar sanningen "mitt i prick" så blir vår gemensamma resa i texten spännande, berikande och förvandlade. Därtill, är ju Guds Ord det rena, med 100% sanningshalt, och därför är det bäst att försöka utgå ifrån och integrera Ordet rikligt i budskapet, där finns den övernaturliga kraften som lyfter till Himmelska höjder. Och, alltjämt, för att få "kristet" publicerat i sekulär media, krävs främst Guds bestämda hand över artikelinskicket. Min fru fick profetiskt att Jesus skulle lägga sin hand över många artikelinskick, och så blev det, tack Jesus! Prisat vare Herren!☝️

Efter 15 års resultatlös kamp och oändligt många och enträgna försök, så kom genombrottet i mitten av 2010-talet. Så ge aldrig upp, för det Herren kallat dig att göra!🙏💯

Här nu samlat ganska många av artiklarna, med antingen en webblänk till tidningsartikeln eller som mest till min blogg (eftersom alla artiklar inte kan nås via en tidningslänk, och många kräver dessutom prenumeration). Om artikeln inte kommer fram via tidningslänken så finns den på en blogglänk någonstans i listan! Bloggartiklarna är oftast lite längre än de publicerade i tidningar. Det viktigaste är att icke-troende fått Evangeliet, och att troende blivit välsignade. Artiklarna finns på olika språk; svenska, finska, norska, danska, engelska och spanska m fl. Var välsignad, sprid Evangeliet och Ordet via dessa artiklar, länkar till allt och alla 🤗:

☝️Slutligen, personligt: Min “känsla” inför alla publicerade artiklar är fruktansvärt onöjd. Det hjälper inte att miljoner fått evangeliet, det är ändå miljarder som ännu inte fått det! Evangeliet som kan frälsa/rädda dem till evigt liv i Himlen istället för evig förtappelse. Det borde vara 1000 fler publicerade artiklar jorden runt. Jag är olycklig med nöd för alla dessa människor, men Jesus ger ändå frid innerst inne, men nöden förblir. Hur ska någon kristen kunna vara nöjd förrän precis alla har fått möjligheten, att höra eller läsa Evangeliet…🙏 Därtill alla väckande viktiga budskap/artiklar till troende via kristna tidningar. Det behövs ljusfacklor av sanning in i all infiltration av liberalteologi, villoläror och sekulära mörker som mer eller mindre intagit dagens församlingar, långt ifrån alla förståss, men "väckelsebudskap" i Ordet och i Anden är vägen framåt… 🙏🔥💖

Pro-Bitcoin Libertarian Javier Milei Takes Surprising Lead in Argentine Presidential Primary Election

Pro-Bitcoin Libertarian Javier Milei Takes Surprising Lead in Argentine Presidential Primary Election

Source: YouTube

Javier Milei, a libertarian candidate who supports abolishing the central bank and has praised Bitcoin (BTC), secured an unforeseen triumph by winning the primary presidential election in Argentina.

With 90% of the vote counted, Milei from the “La Libertad Avanza” party secured 30.5%. The “Juntos por el Cambio” and “Unidos por la Patria” candidates got 28% and 27%, respectively.

Pre-election polls did not anticipate Milei finishing higher than third. 

Disheartened by the country’s challenges, including 116% inflation and a severe cost-of-living crisis that has driven 40% of the population into poverty, Argentine voters are seen as “punishing” the dominant political parties by voting for Milei.

Former conservative President Mauricio Macri commented via Reuters, “Milei’s growth is a surprise. This reflects people’s frustration with politics.”

Politically positioned on the far right, Milei garnered support from protest voters, especially cryptocurrency advocates.

Milei, appearing on various talk shows, has endorsed Bitcoin and crypto before and during his presidential campaign. 

He labels Bitcoin and rivals like Ethereum as a “return of money to its original creator: the private sector.”

He has criticized central banks as a “scam,” accusing them of unfairly enabling politicians to burden citizens through inflation. 

Although he supports cryptocurrencies, Milei doesn’t advocate for Bitcoin’s adoption as the official currency in Argentina, unlike El Salvador’s approach. 

Instead, he proposes the country should transition to “dollarization” due to its severe triple-digit inflation.

Given the polling dynamics, contenders are expected only to secure over 45% of the vote. Consequently, a general election will occur in October between the top candidates from each party. If no one achieves 45% in this round, a final runoff will transpire in November.

Controversies Surrounding Milei’s Coinx Involvement: Allegations and Endorsements

Milei’s involvement with cryptocurrency has its shadows as well.

Source: Instagram

Notably, he faced legal trouble for allegedly promoting a Ponzi scheme named Coinx in Argentina. This scheme is accused of absconding with over $800,000 worth of Argentine pesos.

The platform leveraged its substantial social media following to attract traders who believed in the potential for significant profits through Coinx’s AI-driven automated trades.

In December 2021, Milei endorsed Coinx on his popular Instagram account, stating, “They are changing the investment landscape to assist Argentinians dealing with inflation. You can simulate investments in pesos, dollars, or cryptocurrencies and generate profits.” 

However, after several investors expressed dissatisfaction with the returns falling short of their expectations, Argentina’s regulatory authority, the National Securities Commission (CNV), instructed the platform to halt its operations.

The legal team representing the affected investors reveals that they collectively face losses totalling around 30 million to 40 million pesos (approximately $300,000). Many of these investors are currently pursuing reparations from Milei.

Milei firmly denied any guilt, asserting that the company’s actions were akin to a regular bank’s.

Yet, his prominent reputation stems from his relentless criticism of Argentina’s central bank. 

In a statement, he even vowed to “blow it up,” branding it a deceptive entity that unfairly burdens “honest citizens” through inflationary taxes.

Despite the Central Bank’s attempts to curb crypto activity by banning digital wallets, Argentina’s cryptocurrency landscape remains unchanged. Remarkably, Chainalysis ranks Argentina 13th globally in terms of crypto adoption.

Carlos San Martín, figura colombiana en la clausura de los Juegos

Fuente: RunningColombia El atletismo colombiano cerró este viernes una de sus mejores jornadas en los Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe San Salvador 2023 con la consecución de 1 oro (Carlos Sanmartín), 2 platas (Iván González, Stefany Castillo) y 2 bronces (Stefany López, relevos 4×400 femenino), la mayor cantidad de preseas en un día en esta edición. En el medallero general del atletismo, Colombia finalizó en el séptimo puesto (3 oros, 8 platas, 7 bronces). Un responsable clave del buen rendimiento en esta jornada fue Carlos Sanmartín, ya que el atleta metense obtuvo el tercer oro para la delegación en las justas, en los 3.000 metros con obstáculos masculino. La adversidad no fue obstáculo para Sanmartín Sanmartín largó como uno de los favoritos para llevarse el oro para Colombia, que no contó en la prueba con Gerard Giraldo, campeón en Barranquilla 2018 y quien nuevamente no pudo competir en su segunda prueba en San Salvador, donde manifestó tener dolores abdominales, por los que fue remitido al hospital Zocamil, donde tras varios exámenes fue diagnosticado con colitis y declarado «no apto para competir» por parte del cuerpo médico. Ya el la pista, la iniciativa la tomó el puertorriqueño Ricardo Estremera al liderar el lote en las primeras vueltas. Mientras tanto, Sanmartín intentaba despegarse de su par salvadoreño, Carlos Santos (medallista de bronce), el cual le dejaba poco espacio de maniobra para correr. A falta de un poco menos de dos vueltas, Sanmartín se enfrentó al momento más crítico de la carrera, pues el colombiano alcanzó a tropezar en un salto. Aunque logró evitar una caída, quedó rezagado de la punta. Con mucho empuje y adrenalina, Sanmartín apretó el ritmo y adelantó a los líderes. De ahí en adelante, mantuvo su ventaja sobre el atleta mexicano César Gómez, quien amenazaba con superarlo hasta los últimos metros de la carrera. El colombiano, tras un excelente remate en la última vuelta, finalmente obtuvo el oro con un registro de 8 minutos, 50 segundos y 15 centésimas y superó al medallista de plata por cinco décimas. De esta manera, Sanmartín se despide de San Salvador con una medalla de oro y otra de bronce colgada en su cuello (5.000 metros). Carlos Sanmartín, oro en 3.000 metros con obstáculos en San Salvador 2023. Foto: Secretaría de prensa de El Salvador. En la rama femenina de los 3.000 metros con obstáculos, Colombia también tuvo la destacada actuación de su representante, Stefany López. La colombiana se mantuvo en puestos de podio durante la mayor parte de la carrera y logró resistir el fuerte remate de la cubana Milena Pérez para asegurarse, por una diferencia 72 centésimas, la medalla de bronce. Con un tiempo de 10:27.20, López llegó en tercer lugar a 12 segundos de la ganadora, la puertorriqueña Alondra Negrón. Medallas de plata que brillan como oro El camino a esta jornada brillante de Colombia comenzó con Iván González en la final de los 10.000 metros masculino, quien se llevó la medalla de plata, su tercera presea en unos Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe. Pese a su gran remate de carrera, el colombiano se quedó a tan solo 1.41 segundos de la medalla de oro, que fue a parar en manos del mexicano Víctor Zambrano, quien lideró en los últimos 800 metros. Iván González cruzó la meta en segundo lugar con un tiempo de 29:40.71. De esta manera, los hermanos González, junto a su hermano Mauricio en la media maratón, aportaron un total de dos medallas para Colombia. Iván González en San Salvador 2023. Foto: Secretaría de prensa de El Salvador. Por otro lado, Stefanny Castillo igualó por segunda ocasión el récord nacional que ella misma ostenta en el salto con pértiga femenino, con su registro de 4,30 metros. Esta marca le permitió obtener la medalla de plata en un empate con la cubana Aslín Quiala. En esta reñida definición cabeza a cabeza, ambas atletas tuvieron registros idénticos. Superaron el listón a 4,20 metros en su tercer intento, luego avanzaron en los 4,30 metros en el primer salto y fallaron en sus tres salidas para los 4,40 metros. Stefany Castillo obtuvo medalla de plata en San Salvador 2023 Foto: Secretaría de prensa de El Salvador. Colombia se despidió con bronce en relevos El equipo femenino de relevos de los 4×400 metros planos obtuvo la medalla de bronce en la última competencia de atletismo en San Salvador. El cuarteto compuesto por Lina Licona, Melany Bolaños, Valeria Cabezas y Evelis Aguilar finalizó en tercer lugar con un tiempo de 3:31.16, a cinco segundos de las medallistas de oro, el equipo cubano, que impuso nuevo récord en los juegos, con 3:26.08. En contraste, el equipo masculino de esta modalidad no tuvo un buen resultado. El grupo conformado por Jhonatan Rodríguez, Óscar Baltán, Gustavo Barrios y Raúl Mena culminó quinto (3:10.17), superando solo a El Salvador, como ocurrió también en el relevo corto, a 8 segundos de los ganadores, Trinidad y Tobago.

The Book of Boba Fett: The Surprising Marvel Connections

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The Book of Boba Fett picks up the threads of the bounty hunter’s untold adventures in the years after Return of the Jedi, paving a new, unexpected path for the fan-favorite rogue. While most Star Wars fans expected the Mandalorian gunslinger to once again embrace a life of crime, no one could have predicted Boba’s big career change from bounty hunter to Tatooine’s newest crime lord.

But this is actually a Boba Fett story decades in the making. After all, writers were already hard at work continuing the book of Boba just mere months after he took a tumble into the sarlacc pit in 1983. Many of those early stories took place in the pages of the classic Star Wars comics published by Marvel in the ’70s and ’80s. It’s no surprise, then, that the new Disney+ series has already established several connections to Marvel comics, both new and old…

The Sarlacc Pit Escape

Boba escaped the dreaded sarlacc’s stomach almost as soon as he fell into the pit. On Dec. 13, 1983, just months after the release of Return of the Jedi, Marvel published Star Wars #81 by Mary Jo Duffy and Ron Frenz: the (now non-canon) story of how Boba survived his gruesome fate but found himself right back in the belly of the beast (literally) by tales’ end.

The issue takes a much more lighthearted approach to Boba’s escape. Instead of punching and burning his way out of the monster’s digestive system, the sarlacc burps out Boba, sending him flying into the sands above.

Like in The Book of Boba Fett, it’s those pesky Jawa scavengers who first discover an unconscious bounty hunter. But in this case, they confuse him for some sort of droid or cyborg, so they pack him into their Sandcrawler. He later has a run-in with Han Solo and Leia, who are trying to rescue Artoo from these same Jawas. Fortunately for Han, Boba is suffering from amnesia and doesn’t know he’s staring his mortal enemy in the face. Because of this, Han decides to try and rescue Boba too, but when Leia says the scoundrel’s name, the bounty hunter suddenly remembers what happened to him and shifts right back into kill mode.

The story ends with Han and Leia escaping the Sandcrawler as it goes crashing down into the sarlacc pit, dooming Boba once again to be slowly digested over 1,000 years. Don’t worry, he’ll get out again…eventually.

Black Krrsantan

Boba’s story isn’t the only way in which The Book of Boba Fett pays homage to Marvel comics, though. That fearsome Wookiee bounty hunter introduced in “The Tribes of Tatooine” as the Hutt twins’ bodyguard? That’s Black Krrsantan, a character who debuted in 2015 in Marvel’s Darth Vader #1 by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca, and who has become one of the foremost bounty hunters of Disney’s canon Original Trilogy era.

That first issue of Darth Vader begins Black Krrsantan’s story in the months after A New Hope, when the Dark Lord of the Sith is trying to hunt down the rebel who destroyed the Death Star. Already working for Jabba the Hutt alongside Boba Fett, Krrsantan is sent by the crime lord to aid in Vader’s search.

Krrsantan also fought old Ben Kenobi on Tatooine in one of the “From the Journals of Obi-Wan Kenobi” stories from Marvel’s Star Wars by Jason Aaron and Mike Mayhew. In issue #20 (2016), Krrsantan comes face to face with the Jedi Master after kidnapping Owen Lars, Luke Skywalker’s uncle. Guess who won that fight.

He’s had run-ins with Han Solo and Chewbacca in the comics, and even helped stop a plot to assassinate Emperor Palpatine in the pages of Doctor Aphra, which is where he’s appeared int he comics most recently.

With his arrival on The Book of Boba Fett, Black Krrsantan becomes one of the few Star Wars characters who has made the jump from comics to live action.

War of the Bounty Hunters and the Hutt Twins

Marvel’s War of the Bounty Hunters crossover event, which takes place just months before Return of the Jedi, provides a key piece of backstory critical to understanding the full scope of the power struggle in The Book of Boba Fett.

In that story, the Grand Hutt Council, the group that rules over the galaxy’s most powerful criminal organization, betrays Darth Vader for complicated reasons we won’t get into here. And when Vader discovers their treachery, he does what any Sith lord would do: he slaughters them all — except for Jabba, who was the only Hutt smart enough to remain loyal to Vader and the Empire. By the end of the Marvel series, Jabba is truly the last crime lord standing, at least within the Hutt Cartel.

Jabba’s death in the opening act of Jedi really does seem like the final nail in the coffin for the Hutts’ iron grip on the underworld, but we learn in The Book of Boba Fett that isn’t the case. Jabba’s twin cousins have come to Tatooine to collect what they believe is rightfully theirs, and are undoubtedly happy to kill Mos Espa’s new daimyo to get it.

In a way, the arrival of the twins is as much a continuation of the Hutts’ story told in War of the Bounty Hunters as well as Jedi.

Hoojibs

They may not look like much but they’ve got it where it counts. “The Tribes of Tatooine” brings the little telepathic rodent-like species known as Hoojibs to live-action Star Wars. Native to the planet Arbra, the Hoojibs first appeared in Star Wars #55 (1981) when the Rebel Alliance arrive on their home world in search of a new base after barely escaping Hoth. In the David Michelinie and Walt Simonson story, the rebels help the Hoojibs reclaim their home by defeating a monster named Slivilith.

While Hoojibs are considered very deep cuts today, they were staples of ’80s Marvel comics. One Hoojib, the extremely cute Plif, even traveled with Luke on many of his later adventures! Plif later became a New Republic senator in the non-canon Legends continuity.

Clearly, Plif was having a better time than the Hutt twin’s Hoojib is on The Book of Boba Fett…

LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) — Salvador de Alba Jr. wants to be the next Sergio Perez, Pato O'Ward or Daniel Suarez, a Mexican race car driver who advances to a major international series.

His journey started this week at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, where de Alba tested an Indy Lights car for Andretti Autosport. He had never before been in an Indy car and estimated he ran "at least 6,000 laps" around the 2.258-mile road course online on iRacing to prepare.

Just driving the Lights car for Andretti would have been enough to call his trip to Ohio a success. But de Alba had a fully immersive experience that went beyond his wildest dreams. The 21-year-old got tips ahead of the test from fellow Mexican driver O'Ward, watched his first live IndyCar race and then traveled to Indianapolis to visit the Andretti shop and take a private tour of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

"It was better than going to Disney," de Alba told the Associated Press. "Everything was new for me, it was my first experience with an IndyCar race weekend. It was 'Wow' for me to meet all the drivers. Then to race that cool of a car, visit a shop and see Indianapolis Motor Speedway — I think I had a very complete experience."

De Alba was accompanied by his father and Michel Jourdain Jr., who raced nine seasons in CART and won a pair of races and finished third in the 2003 series standings. Jourdain has twice raced in the Indianapolis 500, dabbled in NASCAR's Xfinity and Truck Series, and is still active today in Mexico in the Super Copa Championship.

Jourdain won the Super Copa title last season but for 2021 aligned with Michael Andretti to form Andretti Jourdain Autosport for that series. Jourdain is determined to help young Mexican drivers advance, an initiative backed by Andretti, and after racing against de Alba the past five years he highlighted the second-generation racer from Guadalajara as a budding prospect.

De Alba is the current points leader in both NASCAR Peak Mexico and Super Copa, two series that use full-bodied cars. He holds a five point advantage ahead of three-time NASCAR Mexico series champion Ruben Garcia, who has three career Xfinity Series starts, headed into this weekend's race in Puebla.

"One of the main goals of the Andretti Jourdain partnership is to bring young Mexican and Latin drivers into the IndyCar world," Jourdain told the AP. "That includes crew members and finding ways to expand racing talent outside of Mexico."

The Mexican market is hot right now with Perez in his first season driving for Red Bull in Formula One, 22-year-old O'Ward in the thick of IndyCar's championship race and Suarez a key building block of Trackhouse Racing in NASCAR. Justin Marks, owner of Trackhouse, has partnered with entertainer Pitbull on the team and along with Suarez is building a program designed to tap into the lucrative U.S. Latin market.

Perez and Suarez both have financial backing from Mexican companies and now de Alba wants to capitalize on the moment his fellow countrymen are enjoying: Canelo Alvarez is the unified super middleweight world champion, Brandon Moreno is the first Mexican to win a UFC championship, Karina Rodriguez is the first Mexican to win an Invicta MMA title and Andrea Meza was crowned 2021 Miss Universe in May.

"I feel very proud to be part of the group that is getting recognized," O'Ward said recently. "I think it's been great that we've seen very different athletes doing really well in their certain sport, whether it is UFC, boxing, Checo in Formula One, me in IndyCar, the lady that won the Miss Universe, it's really cool."

De Alba already has some backing from three companies that helped him get his test with Andretti. He has returned to Mexico to talk with primary backers Grupo Indi, Mecano and Sidral AGA/Red Cola about his next moves.

He said he wants to join the Road to Indy system, the feeder program that Andretti heavily invests in to develop future IndyCar drivers. It will take financial backing from his own sponsors for de Alba to make it to the U.S., but Jourdain believes the success of Perez, O'Ward and Suarez have reignited an interest in Mexican racers.

The last Mexican driver to win an IndyCar race was Adrian Fernandez at California in 2004.

"It's a lot cheaper to race in Mexico and you have very, very good drivers and I think if you are competitive in Mexico, I believe you can be competitive in the U.S.," Jourdain said. "It is a good moment for Mexico and there are opportunities right now for Mexican companies to support young talents internationally."

After six days immersed in IndyCar, de Alba is certain he wants to find his way into a U.S.-based series. He sometimes sees Perez at local karting tracks and the F1 star is always willing to help young racers, and he knows both O'Ward and Suarez.

His time was so fulfilling, de Alba's mother complained he wasn't calling home with updates.

"I was like 'Hey, Mom, I have lots of things to process and when I come back I will tell you everything,'" de Alba said. "It was a dream, and it gives me all the motivation to come back and do more, to do more tests, run races and race here in the United States."
