What Is A The Ecchiest Manga?

PRESENTACIÓN

TIME AND HUMAN CONDITION: IN SEARCH of balance,

By Luis Fernando Arevalo Viveros


"There are substantial cultural crisis when the man runs out
world to live, ie what
definitely make your life that is for him the only thing definitive.
World is the architecture of the contour, which drive
surrounds us, the last program of what is possible and impossible in life
due and forbidden. "


José Ortega y Gasset


Our world, so our culture leads us often to live thinking or ignoring the future, a possible time but nonexistent. Excessive concern for the future but also saves us consume without limits what others say it will be scarce or expensive tomorrow. Also, the anxiety about the future can be very intimidating because it makes us think about problems or mishaps that inhibit the action unrealistic at present. Similarly, the anguish of the time it will force us to be better tomorrow if we have to go over all that existed yesterday or repudiate all that we enjoy today.

On the other hand, the contempt for the future and the past brings us to this lonely, senseless, aimless course. Located exclusively in the present, without evaluating or remember our traditions or without want something better for tomorrow, we built a life devoid of respect for what has surrounded us, an uncertain existence, with no aspirations and ultimately violent and destructive.

Something similar happens with the beliefs and attachments to the past. 2Inexpugnables "Walls of bronze cast past we only establishing dogmas, ideas become petrified faith, hatred and all thought onslaught of innovation and build on today or the future. Therefore, all end in the way we form relationships over time, can be harmful to our human condition.

In this way, I get to the point on which I wish to draw attention to the prologue this blog: the attitude controller of "work" just to live the present, the status of prisoners chained to the past or the obsession with the future, so it still has not arrived, has destabilizing consequences for the human condition: loss of memory and identity, lack of desire, fear and refusal to act and transform, in short, amounts to senseless dehumanization and death.

I do not wish to take a stand against human apocalyptic and times that accompany it, because there are already sufficient for that book and pastors "sacred" which I distance myself, I just want to emphasize and remember, along with Ortega y Gasset, that "while the tiger can not stop being a tiger, can not" destigrarse "man lives in constant danger of being dehumanized", hence the need to maintain, legitimize and humanize generate discourses that evoke our human nature . It should generate guiding words, which introduce us as a species with the privilege, the ability and commitment to preserve, build and avoid destruction. Speeches to propose and human builds a balanced position against time, to consider and respect the past to live hard and build this future.

Example of equilibrium in the human relationship with time are our ancestral indigenous cultures which have been kept alive and protected their motherland despite the impressive difficulties, for them the past is its most precious treasure to grow in the present and build their future. In contrast, often, we shut out the past, we lose the memory, to repeat endlessly errors that could have been avoided only to recall what went wrong or what was useful in certain circumstances.

For our balance in the relationship with the past, present and future balance is maintained constantly need to remember the Nazi Holocaust, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the massacres in the banana, Naya, Trujillo and El Nile "false positives" the situation of people who daily are banished from their territories, the harshness of life of hostages, prisoners, streams and wetlands that were diverted and dried, the fish were killed by the dynamite, lumber, etc. All this and more has to be kept in memory, because they are events and errors that call into question our humanity. They can not repeat mistakes.

But not enough to remember, it is imperative to act here and now. Understood to act as look, feel, interpret, being critical or take away, and especially to express, preserve all that valuable of our cultures and transform all that we destroyed and dehumanized. Only then a successful future is feasible, is likely.

said balance can be achieved in and through education in our homes, roads, educational institutions, social organizations and community action boards, councils and education within each of us by reading the world that we surroundings. Emancipatory education is needed to be responsible for keeping the memory, thinking and acting to create a future more and more human.

Fortunately, today there are many educational facilities available to us to seek the right balance. One of them is this blog, which we relive the past of District 5 of Popayan, compared with its present to infer and anticipate the various possibilities for the future that builds the community of this sector of the city.

New information technologies and communication, including the Internet, as well as prevent further cutting down trees to make paper, have democratized education, knowledge and aroused curiosity and passion for it. Today, we see more children, youth and adults in the Internet room in the quiet, dusty, restrained and very outdated libraries. A search or a guided tour of the infinite virtual shelf, surely we will get to places like this blog are only possible response and to go to find balance with our times.

Finally, finding a balance between our past, present and future
, called to ask: What we know about the past of our living environment? What we have preserved and transformed? "Our education is to promote the strengthening of our human condition? "Our educational institutions do we read and interpret the world around us? How? Where? Are we locked in four walls thinking our worlds meet yellowing papers? The answers are our work.

Tata Internationnal Infrastructure Fund



Building on Earth is possible:



So we started in October 2008. Since then stand on the difficult task of getting the cooperation of the team that once was part of the construction project of the shelter Taique. I hope not to forget all those who contributed their efforts and shared in the company working hours of the writer of these lines. Without giving up, dodging the moments of greatest stress, all are committed and it is this document a return to their participation in the project.

How to make bricks and not stay in the attempt:

performed a circular sill 6 meters in diameter. We got the land rich in clay roadside, in the same farm and mix it with sand without stones from a truck that dumped the material near the sill. The hauling of earth was carried by truck, then loosen the soil with cultivator. After the sill mixing takes place with the help of the same machine, to achieve a homogeneous product the texture suitable for the manufacture of bricks. Produce or cut about 1100 adobe including adobes we curved for a future furnace. In this task, participated in a timeline Rouze and Vincent Lawrence (thank the kick and nights devoted to the preparation of a blueprint for the work), Adam Jarrell and Tracy with whom he also shared moments of planting, Sophie and their willingness Campillo Steel, Scott Greiner (my co-trekking) and Curman Llan also collaborating on the first major sale of farm products on the feast of the artisan.




The foundation and lay bricks:



In a second stage with the help of Hilary Costa and Lincoln, Curman and Ariane, during late in the first week of January, we began with the founding of the lodge. The same is 0.80m deep. Plastillera use bags filled with aggregate or gravel and then made a concrete foundation iron stirrups of 8 mm and 4 mm, to achieve a structure from which would form the columns and upper chain. One of the periods of high stress and less incentive to continue. Still did not see any trace of what would follow, but we did the work very neatly. We started with the carrying of bricks from the area cutting and this task is owed to Scott and his integrity to local circumstances. With the same install all the rules to plummet in the corners of the work would begin immediately to lay bricks to the 4th row of bricks. Before leaving the river we would share a trip Turco, where fortunately we were able to participate in the control of a wildfire on the shores of the lake. The fire occurred two weeks before and after a windy day retook activity. With sticks, with no other tools, we began the task and with a great will finish the task in the most compromised.










We're up

Kelly Baker was his sympathy and goodwill, who accompanied the continuity of the hostel. A few days later and later joined Eliana and Aissa Ben, Rory and Nathan. It was the most progress when we arrive to build the cabin slanted task is not easy because at that time only had the scaffolding on the outside walls but we had the structure of the story. Then with the help of ladders and trestles we complete one of the gables on the wall north. At this time we also had the highest production in the garden and achieve early sales of vegetables on the farm. Prepare canned over for the rest of the year and for sale elsewhere in passing. Honey production was bounded due to the growth of colonies totaling 15 in the early winter. Within this framework, continued to progress on construction. In that time we build more bricks and use them immediately even after 4 or 5 days of manufacture.




We're revoking the task

A Carolina joined Morris, Oscar Masselot and Thimoteo Grospiron with whom we also share wonderful moments of music with the charango and the guitar that both musicians were speaking. They finished with the whole structure of clay. It built the second slanted, they let their hair or wires to tie the sticks or truss roof structure. With the chain of about 15 cm thick reinforced concrete, it makes the work itself and only take firm pending the wood begins to withdraw on the first wall. It reverses the walls facing the rain mixed with cement and the walls do not receive water with cement-clay mixture. To this mixture is used the same mixture for mud bricks, with the addition of horse manure (feces of horses) and some lime. The sand was sieved prior to use in the mix. The work of this mixture was a bit more difficult. The treading of this mixture was more demanding than for the mixture of walls and bricks. In all cases we work mechanically ground, add water and then step on the mud had achieved the ideal adhesion between particles of clay, silt and sand.




start with the roof


roof was time. Peel the sticks of Oregon pine. We make the dough with beeswax and apply that money to the clubs and the dovetail before assembling the structure. Place the ridge and then squared up the roof to start putting the trusses on it. It was a task performed with great dedication and patience with Timothy until the end of a roof. On the same place the dovetail asphalt paper (ruderoy), the clavaderas, sheep's wool, plastic and galvanized sheets.






sheep, wool, manure and other virtues


sheep wool covered a thickness of 2 "finishing to give the enough insulation to the house, which also has walls with wide enough to avoid extreme temperatures. The finished sheets are placed in late April with the help of Charlie and Joddie Veerman, from which time I could continue peacefully with other activities that were surveyed in the background.




In mid-May with the help of Nicholas and Stephanie, in a first stage, followed with cementitious plaster on the walls hit by the rain, working on rainy days to prevent the occurrence refusal of the low temperatures on the application of the mixture. By now the work performed only when the weather allows me to keep working on it. I prepared to withdraw inside on the mezzanine where I have already worked and prepared for electrical auto_install.




I believe in the training that goes beyond a few simple lines, is always much more successful learning in situ. I believe that the experience for some it was hard for others who have an ownership fastest practice or technique using his body was pleasant. They all appreciate the experience in their roles on the team. In all cases, the language barrier we kicked against or rather not contribute to the relationship. And at the end of the work, in May this situation had me worried, because I did not have the same powers as the beginning. As a person of few words and much action, forgetfulness or lack of communication was an obstacle to overcome. For those who can appropriate body language and technology is a very valuable experience. I am very happy with the result of experience and I can replicate at least part of what was done, they still have a lifetime to continue to undertake new projects. Geni
A hug, Chris and Gaby.
