Palenke, Meksiko – Palenque, Mexico

Vivaldi translation of introduction: Among all the classic cities of the Mayan plain, the sanctuary districts of Palenque provide perhaps the most accessible key to understanding the historical, ideological, and propaganda goals of the Mayan royal dynasty.

Među svim klasičnim gradovima iz majanske ravnice, svetilišne četvrti Palenkea pružaju možda najpristupačniji ključ za razumijevanje istorijskih, ideoloških i propagandnih ciljeva majanske kraljevske dinastije. Iako su arheolozi dugo bili usredsređeni upravo na građevine u djelu, posebno one podignute za vrijeme vladavine dvojice najpoznatijih vladara Palenkea, novija istraživanja su osvijetlila i ostale aspekte, od kojih mnogi pružaju jasniju sliku o urbanim obilježjima tog lokaliteta. Istraživanja obavljena u oblasti svetilišta dokazala su da je drevni grad zauzimao površinu od oko 350 hektara, koja je skoro u cjelini vidljiva današnjem posjetiocu i gusto pokrivena stambenim kompleksima, javnim objektima i hramovima. Najdrevnije razdoblje Palenkea ukazuje na značajnu težnju ka gustoj naseljenosti, prilično neuobičajenoj za majanski svijet. Grad je osnovan oko 150 godine, na obodu plodne ravnice isprijesecane riječnim tokovima, sjeverno od današnje meksičke države Čijapas. Zauzimao je strateški položaj između basena rijeke Usumakinta i obale meksičkog zaliva. Grad je uskoro počeo da privlači ljude…

Justice Department Secures Surrender of Over 500 Dogs from Iowa Dog Breeder and a Permanent Prohibition on Dealing in Animals | OPA | Department of Justice

In September, the United States filed suit against Gingerich, alleging that he was placing the health of his dogs in serious danger in violation of the AWA. Gingerich had amassed over 100 citations by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) inspectors in only six months for violations of the AWA, including for the failure to provide an emaciated golden retriever veterinary care, failure to provide potable water and feeding dogs moldy food and food contaminated with wood chips. Gingerich was also cited for failing to follow an appropriate vaccine regime, which resulted in outbreaks of Parvovirus and distemper, both highly contagious but easily preventable diseases.

Under the consent decree, Gingerich was required to identify and surrender all of his dogs at his USDA-licensed and unlicensed facilities. Those dogs have now been transferred to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, which is partnering with Wayside Waifs, Wisconsin Humane Society, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and other organizations to provide the dogs the care they need. Gingerich also agreed to permanently refrain from any activity requiring an AWA license. USDA simultaneously negotiated the permanent revocation of Gingerich’s AWA license.

O caminho para o sucesso

Vivaldi translation: The path to success

We have endless possibilities ahead of us. You want something? Focus on that. Work hard to achieve what you want. Ah, important detail: don’t get lost between distractions. Many may seem inviting, but they can lead to ruin. The golden path to personal fulfillment is arduous. However, you can get there alone. In life, we need to correct many errors, only after realization, to discover the meaning of the word “impossible”.

O caminho para o sucesso

Nós temos infinitas possibilidades pela frente. Você quer algo? Foque nisso. Trabalhe duro para conquistar o que deseja. Ah, detalhe importante: não se perca entre distrações. Muitas podem parecer convidativas, mas podem te levar a ruína. O caminho áureo para a realização pessoal é árduo. Todavia, você pode chegar lá sozinho (a). Na vida, nós precisamos corrigir muitos erros, para só após a realização, descobrir o significado da palavra ” impossível “.
