    Stealing Forbidden Dreams by Edward L Alban https://www.amazon.com/Stealing-Forbidden-Dreams-Edward-Alban/dp/1962931005 Maria Diaz, originally from Ecuador, teaches math in a Miami high school. She is intellectual, loves poetry and likes music-from classical to Andean, to tangos-and suffers from insomnia. Sleep intrigues her. She does the math and figures that over a sixty-year span we sleep the staggering sum of twenty years. Where does all that time go? Is it a waste? Or does it have a hidden redeeming value? Finding answers to these questions becomes her quest. She reads extensively about the brain’s activity during sleep, she keeps a log of the few brief dreams that she remembers and manages to intertwine her conscious hours with her subconscious hours into a helix-like braid of her life, which she presents in the form of a novel. Her sleeping mind opens its doors and reveals her sleeping world. She meets her inner self: her id, libido, ego, alter egos, muses, and oracles. They all come alive as colorful human characters, vying for control of her life and her destiny. Maria’s Libido is a sexy look-alike who thinks it’s high time for Maria to lose her virginity. Her sassy Literary Muse advocates career change from teaching and mathematics. Her oracles are alter egos personified as older gentlemen who guide her in matters of philosophy. Every night, Maria is at the center of this seemingly schizophrenic reality filled with laughter, tears, adulation, and scorn. It is a wonderful world that she comes to love, but, as with all humans, Maria can’t remember her dream world when she is awake. Day after day, Maria’s parallel world is wiped away upon awakening. The only exceptions are wisps of dreams and little snippets that are still fresh when she awakens. But the bulk of her sleeping hours is off limits. This is where her treasures, her “forbidden dreams” are held by oblivion. And she intends to get them, if she has to steal them. It took her ten years to do it. The result is this work. Maria comes of age in many ways, she matures philosophically, she becomes sure of her convictions, and she lives her life by her own precepts. She shares with us how the mind at night interphases with the conscious world. We do relive our daytime life by night, and our night hours in turn do influence the decisions we make in the real world. But it happens so subtly, it is almost imperceptible. This is what we learn from her experiences.

    Scaling With Sustainability: How Founders Protect the Downside While Growing Fast | Belen Benitez

    In this episode, I sit down with sustainability expert Belen Benitez to talk about something most entrepreneurs completely ignore while scaling their businesses: protecting the downside. We break down why sustainability has nothing to do with being “woke” or environmental politics and everything to do with building a business that can survive uncertainty, leadership changes, labor shortages, pandemics, and economic chaos. Belen explains how fast growth without systems, culture, policies, and risk planning eventually leads to burnout, furloughs, and failure, and why slowing down strategically actually creates more money over a longer runway. This conversation challenged how I think about growth, risk, and long-term success, and it will do the same for any founder who wants to build something that truly lasts. About Belen: Belen Benitez is a sustainability strategist and founder of Baseline SD, a minority-owned consulting firm that helps companies turn sustainability into a competitive advantage. With nearly two decades of experience, she works with startups through global enterprises to build resilient, scalable business models that align growth, profitability, and long-term impact. Holding a master's degree in Sustainability from Harvard University, Belen has advised C-suite leaders and boards at organizations including Kelly Services, Holcim, UNDP, and Astrix Technology Group. Born in Ecuador and based in Miami, she brings a global perspective shaped by work across 18+ countries, helping founders and executives scale sustainably by integrating purpose, governance, and performance into their core business strategy.

Then for the second half of 2025, the new version (red) shows much bigger job gains of 345,000 for June through December, than the old version (131,000). For 2024, the new version shows big job losses in February and March (red), while the old version showed moderate gains (blue). And then again in September and October 2024, the new version showed job losses (red), when the old version showed massive job gains (blue). For 2023, the new version shows huge job gains for May, June, and July, while the old version showed much smaller job gains. These massive differences go back all the way back to 2010. The entire data set was massively revised. ADP's entire data series going back to 2010 was heavily revised, and shifted down by about 2.5 million jobs across the entire period.

No one in Mexico or Ecuador or Honduras etc live in nations where there is any state persecution of any protected class. It's all fake, all the way down. 2. All non-Mexican illegals have transited through additional countries on the way to America where there are no forms of state persecution, thereby further disproving any hypothetical claim 3. As yet further proof the claims are fake, aliens turn down the opportunity to avoid this fabricated persecution by being safely resettled in another nation 4. Illegal aliens receive free and functionally unlimited legal services. When facing deportation, they and their lawyers (as a matter of course) automatically file fake asylum applications. It's a multibillion dollar fraudulent industry. It's gross, unethical, and deeply immoral. Everyone involved in this system understands and knows these claims are false. Adjudicating these knowingly false claims is a full-time job for thousands of people. 5. Federal law requires illegal aliens to be detained pending a hearing for their (fake) asylum claim. These are not prisons. They are not being punished. No one is being sentenced. Civil detention and removal is not part of the Article III justice system (in fact, Congress stripped Article III of jurisdiction over civil immigration procedure). The goal of the US government is to send aliens home immediately (they get cash and a free plane ticket) with the fewest days in custody as logistically possible. Any delay is caused by the fake asylum claim. 6. When the fake asylum claim is heard on the “non-detained” docket the illegal aliens rarely show for their hearings. Those few who do show stay in the country regardless after losing (unless placed into detention). Removal orders are ignored as a matter of course. If and when absconders are eventually found (at great time and expense) they still have to be detained to actually effectuate the removal. At this point in time their lawyers will file a motion to reopen their asylum claim or otherwise appeal the finding and seek release again. Regardless, no removal of any alien anywhere can occur unless in a detained setting. If the alien has children they are, by law, supposed to stay in a family residential center (that costs more per night than a high-end hotel, and includes full medical, dental, scholastic and other services) 7. Biden officials did not even bother with the pretext of performing intake interviews for the millions and millions and millions they released into the US. The aliens were simply released on sight, no questions asked, with court dates years away, in the hope and expectation that by the time their fake asylum claims were adjudicated and rejected years later, Democrats would be able to scream that these illegals have now lived here for X years and they and their children must be allowed to stay at our permanent expense. No one in the prior Administration responsible for these decisions actually believed the or now this has anything to do with asylum. To them, it is just useful propaganda in service of infinite mass migration. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2019043492899725395?s=20 DOJ Files Show Jeffrey Epstein Was Reportedly About To Cooperate With Federal Prosecutors Just Weeks Before He Was Found Dead in Jail Epstein was going to flip?

Trump said of the surprise pause that Putin had agreed to halt strikes for one week. Trump has newly told reporters that the agreement expired on Sunday, and that Russia kept its word. “It was Sunday to Sunday, and it opened up and he hit them hard last night,” Trump explained at the White House on Tuesday. “He kept his word on that… we'll take anything, because it's really, really cold over there.” And then as Reuters reported:   Source: zerohedge.com Medical/False Flags [DS] Agenda https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2019073176588919068?s=20  Chairman @SenRickScott 's letter & EXPOSING the rampant fraud in our health care system. https://twitter.com/susancrabtree/status/2019043192688042099?s=20 “HomeKey” housing program, which lacked basic verification systems.

I). You have the legal right to gather in public spaces for lawful purposes- – -like protesting, petitioning the government, or observing events—as long as it’s peaceful and doesn’t break other laws (e.g., no trespassing, no interfering with federal operations, no violence). Supreme Court cases like De Jonge v. Oregon (1937) made it clear: peaceable assembly is a fundamental right, cognate to free speech, and can’t be banned just because officials dislike the message. Governments can impose reasonable, content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions (e.g., permits for large crowds, no blocking traffic) to protect public safety/order, but they can’t outright prohibit lawful gatherings or use force against peaceful participants. Bottom line: True peaceful assembly is 100% protected. Fake titles don’t create extra rights or shields for illegal interference. Stay lawful – – – stay peaceful—that’s the line.  President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2019059790593376473?s=20 https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/2019056233177657425?s=20 https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/2019059608271171723?s=20     Ryan Routh To Be Sentenced For Trump Assassination Attempt Today A federal judge is set to sentence Ryan Routh on Feb. 4 for attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump.

    Un Mensaje a la Conciencia
    La senda nueva de los Huaorani

    Un Mensaje a la Conciencia

    A fines de 1996, un grupo de treinta y cuatro universitarios del estado de Washington en los Estados Unidos se internó en la selva amazónica del Ecuador donde los estaban esperando los Huaorani, conocidos también como los aucas. Éstos, por medio de su embajador extraoficial Esteban Saint, los habían invitado a que fueran a verlos para conocer su modo de vivir. Esteban mismo los acompañó hasta el fin del camino, y luego se los entregó a tres de los Huaorani para que les sirvieran de guías en plena selva. Antes de volver a encontrarse con Esteban, de quien dependían como intérprete, caminaron en un solo día trece horas continuas por un sendero marcado con señales que los indígenas reconocían. El día siguiente abordaron canoas río abajo hasta llegar a un campamento selvático. Para entonces ya habían pasado tres días y medio de andar juntos. A la puesta del sol estaban sentados a la orilla del río. La luna apenas comenzaba a asomarse sobre las copas de los árboles. Una de las jóvenes le dijo a Esteban: —Todo lo que hemos leído acerca de los Huaorani es que son una tribu extremadamente violenta. ¿Será que éstos que nos acompañan son parientes lejanos de aquéllos? —No, son estos mismos —le contestó Esteban—. ¿Por qué no le preguntas a uno de ellos dónde está su padre a ver qué te dice? La incrédula joven escogió a una de las mujeres de la tribu, y ésta, valiéndose de Esteban como intérprete, contestó que hacía mucho tiempo que su padre había muerto atravesado con una lanza. Acto seguido, una de las indígenas más apacibles señaló a un hombre al otro lado del círculo, y declaró: —Él mató a mi padre, a mi madre, a mi hermano mayor, y a otros más de mi familia. Por si eso fuera poco, Daua apuntó a Quimo, que estaba enfrente de ella, y reveló: —Él mató a mi padre y a mi madre, y a mis dos hermanos mayores. A mi mamá la atravesó con una lanza mientras ella amamantaba a mi hermanita en una hamaca. ¡Y siguió mencionando a otros hasta completar diecisiete miembros de su familia a los que él había matado! —¿Cómo es posible que ahora viva en paz con un hombre que mató a toda su familia? —inquirieron los jóvenes, pasmados. Finalmente Esteban tomó del brazo al mismo indígena, el que se llamaba Quimo, y anunció: —¡Él también mató a mi padre! Una de las jóvenes, alarmada, preguntó: —Señor Saint, ¿acaso no corremos peligro aquí? A fin de tranquilizarla, Esteban le dijo a Daua: —Esta joven quiere saber si después de dormirse, seguirá con vida. Daua y los demás Huaorani se rieron a carcajadas, y por fin Daua se puso seria y respondió: —Si nosotros no anduviéramos en el sendero de Dios, no volverías a despertar después de dormirte. Y añadió: —Ahora vivimos felizmente al andar en el sendero de Dios. —¿Cómo es que ahora vives felizmente y con paz, cuando antes vivías tan mal? —le preguntó Esteban. Durante las dos horas siguientes aquella analfabeta les echó un discurso a esos universitarios sobre el poder transformador de Dios. Al terminar, los miró como si fuera la abuela de cada uno, y les dijo: —Escúchenme bien. En esta vida hay muchas sendas, pero hay una sola en la que Dios ha dejado marcadas las señales que conducen a su hogar. Si ustedes salen de aquí sin seguir la senda de Dios, jamás nos volveremos a ver; pero si viven como deben y siguen esa senda, entonces estaremos juntos con Dios algún día.1 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Grabación en casete de Esteban Saint, orador en la Trigésima Reunión Plenaria de los Socios del Instituto Lingüístico de Verano, Lancaster, PA, EE.UU., 14 junio 1997.

    Hispanoamérica: entre China y la Casa Blanca

    La ContraCrónica

    Hispanoamérica se encuentra en estos momentos inmersa en un cambio de ciclo político marcado por un desplazamiento del electorado hacia la derecha. Este fenómeno, todo un "pendulazo" conservador, tuvo su punto de partida simbólico con la llegada de Javier Milei a la presidencia de Argentina a finales de 2023. Desde entonces, esta región ha encadenado una serie de victorias de candidatos de derechas que prometen orden, seguridad y más libertad económica. Sus nombres se han ido acumulando en los últimos dos años: Daniel Noboa en Ecuador, Rodrigo Paz en Bolivia tras dos décadas de dominio del MAS, José Antonio Kast en Chile, Nasry Asfura en Honduras y, hace solo unos días, Laura Fernández en Costa Rica. Este vuelco político responde a un cansancio generalizado hacia la clase política y a problemas estructurales que los gobiernos de izquierda que han sido saliendo no lograron resolver. Los ciudadanos han utilizado las urnas para castigar el deterioro de la seguridad, impulsado por el narcotráfico y la violencia de las pandillas, así como el estancamiento económico y una inflación que en algunos países no da tregua. Además, el colapso de la Venezuela chavista, que fue el referente durante veinte años, ha erosionado el atractivo de las ideas de izquierda. En este escenario la propuesta de "mano dura" contra el crimen y la reducción del aparato estatal ha encontrado un terreno fértil. Un factor determinante en este nuevo mapa político es la influencia de Donald Trump desde la Casa Blanca. El gobierno estadounidense está ejerciendo una notable presión diplomática y financiera, premia a los Gobiernos alineados con sus intereses y presiona a aquellos que mantienen relaciones estrechas con China. Presidentes como Bukele, Milei y Noboa han capitalizado su sintonía con el trumpismo. Además, la reciente caída de Maduro en Venezuela ha reforzado la percepción de que Estados Unidos está dispuesto a intervenir de forma directa o indirecta para recuperar su influencia histórica en el continente. Pero esta alineación ideológica tiene un límite infranqueable: la dependencia económica de China. A diferencia de lo que ocurría en el siglo XX, Estados Unidos ya no es el socio comercial dominante para gran parte de Sudamérica. Países como Brasil y Chile exportan mucho más a China que a EEUU, algo que ni los presidentes más alineados con el trumpismo pueden ignorar sin arriesgarse a un suicidio económico. Incluso figuras como Milei, a pesar de que se prodiga en buenos gestos hacia Trump, sabe que necesita estar a buenas con los chinos si quiere que sus políticas de apertura económica den los frutos esperados. De este modo, aunque Hispanoamérica parece decidida a adoptar modelos de derecha en otros ámbitos, en el de la economía seguirá vinculada a China. El éxito de esta nueva ola conservadora dependerá de su capacidad para ofrecer resultados tangibles en seguridad y empleo. Si estos gobiernos lo consiguen el ciclo podría durar muchos años; de lo contrario, la región seguirá atrapada en el vaivén político que la ha caracterizado durante el último siglo.

    Send us a textForget the assumption that modern neurology only thrives where resources are abundant. We sit down with Dr. Daniel Ontaneda and Dr. Nelson Maldonado—two Ecuadorian neurologists driving change across Latin America—to explore how world-class care is built on clinical craft, cultural fluency, and relentless advocacy. From bedside localization when the MRI is down to expanding stroke thrombolysis from a handful of cases to hundreds, their stories reveal a system where expertise is abundant but access can lag—and how that gap is closing.We retrace Dan's journey from Quito to leading-edge MS research, and Nelson's decision to return home to build services few believed possible. Together they unpack what training looks like across the region, including long-format medical school, rural service, and residencies that demand deep exam skills. We compare public and private systems in Ecuador, break down why patients often want clear directives rather than options, and examine how cultural beliefs and language shape adherence. The conversation digs into MS treatment in low- and middle-resource settings, the rise of highly effective disease-modifying therapies, and the pragmatic use of cost-effective options like rituximab.The episode also exposes a hidden threat: substandard medications entering through price-first procurement, undermining both acute care and chronic neurologic disease. Yet the momentum is real—regional MS registries, imaging collaborations that move faster than heavily regulated systems, and conferences that bring neurocritical care and MS experts under one roof. Even subspecialists practice broadly, treating Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, headache, and ICU cases in the same week, sharpening an exam-first mindset that delivers results.If you care about global neurology, stroke systems of care, MS access, and the practical ethics of delivering evidence-based treatment under constraints, this conversation will challenge assumptions and spark ideas.

    There comes a time in the life of every author when they have to do that truly terrifying thing: Talk about their book. In this special crossover episode with SFF Addicts, we talk about talking about writing! A lot of that involves the beast we all face these days: social media. Branding, marketing, algorithms, trends, parasocial relationships -- It's a lot. How much do you really need to do, and how can you set boundaries around your public and private selves? But there are also times and places an author may need to talk about their book beyond social media and marketing. Sometimes, you have to do it in (gasp!) real life! What techniques can we use to get more comfortable with public speaking? What's good etiquette for being on a panel at a convention or conference? How can you engage with readers one-on-one in a way that makes them see you as an interesting person, not just a book-shilling Gollum incapable of taking about anything except your precious? We share our experiences and offer our perspectives on navigating those situations! Our Guests: SFF Addicts is a weekly sci-fi, fantasy and writing craft podcast co-hosted by Adrian M. Gibson and fellow authors M.J. Kuhn and Greta Kelly, bringing you interviews and writing masterclasses with your favorite SFF authors. Past guests include: George R.R.

    This Day in Legal History: Paris Peace AccordsOn January 27, 1973, the United States signed the Paris Peace Accords, effectively marking the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Though primarily a geopolitical and military agreement, the Paris Peace Accords had significant legal dimensions. Negotiated between the U.S., South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the Viet Cong (under the banner of the Provisional Revolutionary Government), the accords represented a complex international legal settlement aimed at restoring peace in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.The agreement included provisions for a cease-fire, the withdrawal of U.S. troops, the release of prisoners of war, and the recognition of South Vietnamese sovereignty. Legally, the accords posed a challenge to domestic and international law frameworks, particularly in the way the U.S. executive branch negotiated and signed the agreement without formal Congressional approval. This would later contribute to the debate around the War Powers Resolution, passed in 1973, which sought to limit the president's ability to commit U.S. forces without legislative oversight.Though hailed as a diplomatic breakthrough, the accords failed to bring lasting peace. North Vietnam eventually overran the South in 1975, raising legal questions about treaty enforcement and the durability of international peace agreements brokered without strong enforcement mechanisms.A U.S. District Court judge in Minnesota is weighing whether to temporarily halt the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the state, which has come under intense scrutiny following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and nurse. Local officials from Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul argue the federal crackdown involves unlawful tactics, including warrantless home raids and racial profiling, carried out by over 2,800 heavily armed agents—more than the total local police force. The Biden-appointed judge, Katherine Menendez, acknowledged the unprecedented nature of the case.The administration, defending the operation, dismissed the lawsuit as baseless. However, video evidence contradicts the official account of Pretti's death, showing he was unarmed and holding a phone when agents shot him, despite claims he posed a threat with a firearm. The incident has fueled widespread protests and demands for federal de-escalation from both state leaders and major Minnesota-based companies like Target and 3M.President Trump has sent border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota, though it's unclear whether this signals an expansion or reassessment of federal actions. Trump says his administration is “reviewing everything” and that immigration agents will eventually withdraw. Tensions have also spilled into Washington, with Senate Democrats vowing to block DHS funding, risking a partial government shutdown. Meanwhile, even some Republicans are questioning the administration's approach.US judge to consider pause to Minnesota crackdown as Trump dispatches border czar | ReutersA federal judge in Boston has blocked the Trump administration from ending legal status for over 8,400 migrants from seven Latin American countries who had been allowed to live in the U.S. under family reunification parole programs. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction, preventing the Department of Homeland Security from terminating the programs, which benefited migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.These programs, created or expanded under President Biden, allowed U.S. citizens and green card holders to sponsor relatives while they awaited visa approval. The Trump administration moved to end the programs, claiming they were inconsistent with current enforcement priorities and enabled people to bypass traditional immigration processes.Talwani found that the administration failed to justify its decision, noting the government neither provided evidence of fraud nor assessed the real-life consequences for affected migrants. Many had already sold homes or left jobs in their home countries. She ruled that DHS's policy shift lacked a reasoned explanation and was therefore arbitrary and capricious under administrative law.The ruling is part of a broader class action brought by immigrant rights advocates challenging Trump's rollback of temporary protections. Talwani had previously tried to block similar efforts affecting hundreds of thousands of migrants, but those earlier rulings were overturned on appeal or by the Supreme Court.US judge blocks Trump administration's push to end legal status of 8,400 migrants | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week takes a look at the Empire State's budget. New York Governor Kathy Hochul's proposed no-tax-hike budget may appear fiscally cautious, but critics (includin me) argue it lacks the stable, long-term revenue needed to support key social programs like universal childcare. While the state currently enjoys relative revenue stability, the budget relies on temporary fixes, such as decoupling from parts of the federal tax code to generate $1.6 billion, instead of pursuing more durable sources of funding.My critique centers on Hochul's refusal to raise the top marginal corporate tax rate—currently 7.25% for large companies—which is lower than neighboring states like New Jersey (11.5%) and Connecticut (8.25%). I suggest raising the rate to at least 8.5% and making the existing corporate tax surcharge permanent. I argue that companies benefiting from New York's infrastructure and market can afford modest increases, and are unlikely to relocate given regional and national tax landscapes.Without securing permanent funding, the state risks repeating a familiar pattern: expanding programs in good times and cutting them during downturns. I warn that relying on temporary revenue maneuvers delays tough decisions and increases the likelihood of painful tax hikes or service cuts when the economy falters. In short, now is the time to align recurring revenues with long-term commitments, while conditions are favorable. This is a public episode.

    Energía eléctrica, medicamentos, maquillaje y cuidado de la piel, son algunos de los productos que más exporta Colombia hacia Ecuador y que tendrán un arancel del 30% a partir del 1 de febrero. Desde Davos, el presidente de Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, anunció que todas las exportaciones desde el vecino país tendrán esa tasa porque considera insuficiente el compromiso de Colombia con la cooperación bilateral en materia de seguridad. Colombia es el tercer país que más exporta productos a Ecuador, con un 7.3% en la participación del mercado ecuatoriano, detrás de China y Estados Unidos. Si el arancel del 30% a todos los productos colombianos entra en vigor el 1 de febrero, como lo anunció el presidente Daniel Noboa, varios políticos ecuatorianos temen que en realidad su país sea el más afectado.   “Puede ser muy grave” “Ojalá Colombia no tome la misma medida, que es lo que se acostumbra en estos casos, porque sería una situación mucho más perjudicial para el Ecuador. Hay que ver qué es lo que nosotros vendemos y qué es lo que ellos venden. Nosotros vendemos barcos, vendemos madera, vendemos preparados de pescado y ellos, en cambio nos venden productos farmacéuticos, medicinas, plásticos, es decir, productos terminados. Si Colombia toma una medida similar, pueden encarecerse”, explica a RFI el parlamentario andino Virgilio Hernández. ACTUALIZACIÓN: Leer tambiénLa guerra comercial entre Ecuador y Colombia se profundiza con nuevos aranceles y medidas “Además, Colombia nos ha vendido en los momentos más difíciles energía. Nos ha llegado a vender hasta 450 megavatios de energía y en estas últimas semanas precisamente Colombia estaba trabajando en un reglamento que permita que las operadoras privadas vendan energía a Ecuador. Es una energía que además no ha podido ser reemplazada porque el Ecuador no ha generado en estos últimos meses ni en estos últimos años energía termoeléctrica ni de ninguna otra naturaleza. Por lo tanto, esto puede ser muy grave lo que puede suceder en esa materia”, indica.  Comunidad Andina Para Hernández, hay otra vía más diplomática para solicitarle al Gobierno colombiano que aumente su compromiso con la cooperación bilateral en materia de seguridad: “El presidente Daniel Noboa es presidente pro tempore en este momento de la Comunidad Andina de Naciones. Lo que debía haber hecho es convocar a una reunión de emergencia del Consejo Presidencial Andino e incluso del Consejo de Ministros de Relaciones Exteriores, para tratar de forma inmediata y poder llegar a acuerdos”, estima. La seguridad en la frontera entre Colombia y Ecuador enfrenta una crisis creciente debido a la actividad de disidencias de las FARC, como los "Comandos de la Frontera", a quienes se atribuye el tráfico recurrente de grandes cargamentos de droga. La amenaza también incluye ataques contra la fuerza pública, destacando el asesinato reciente de 11 militares ecuatorianos en operativos contra la minería ilegal en la Amazonía. Los 10 productos que más exporta Colombia a Ecuador son: energía eléctrica; medicamentos dosificados; insecticidas, raticidas y antirroedores; vehículos para transporte de mercancías; hilos, cables y conductores aislados para electricidad; productos para el cabello; productos de belleza, maquillaje y cuidado de la piel; azúcar de caña; aceites de petróleo; agentes de superficie orgánicos (utilizados para crear productos de cuidado personal, agricultura o industria textil). Otros productos son café, artículos plásticos para envasado o vehículos para turismo.

    Juliana Garcia started climbing the mountains of Ecuador at fifteen years old. Since then, she has climbed and guided many mountains and big walls throughout the Andes, Peru,Bolivia, Colombia, as well as in Pakistan, Alaska, United States and the Alps. She became the first female Latin American certified IFMGA mountain guide and served as the President of the Ecuadorian Association of guides for 6 years. She is currently one of the instructors of the Ecuadorian guiding school ESGUIM. Juliana is also a Patagonia Brand Ambassador and an AIARE Avalanche Education Instructor and POW ambassador. She served as “board member” at the IFMGA for six years and became the first female and non-European to occupy that position. Recently she was recognized by the IFMGA as an “honorary member”. Juliana got her “ski guide” diploma this spring 2025 in U.S by the AMGA. She became the first female Latin American to obtain this status as a full IFMGA. She is passionate aboutlearning and sharing.Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast,welcome back! I am your host, Ting Ting, from Las Vegas. Today's guest is a true trailblazer in the international guiding community: Juliana Garcia. Juliana is an Ecuadorian mountain guide whose career is a series of "firsts". She was the first woman to pass the rigorous aspirant exams in the Bolivian system and became the first female IFMGA-certified guide in all of Latin America. Juliana's influence extends far beyond the technical terrain of the Andes. She served two terms as the president of the Ecuadorian Mountain Guides Association, where she was instrumental in bringing their national school up to international standards. She also shattered glass ceilings at the highest level of the profession as the first woman ever to sit on the board of the IFMGA. At the time of this interview, Juliana was based in Washington state and was in the final stages of a multi-year journey to become a certified ski guide—a discipline she picked upas an adult to bring high-level snow science and safety back to her home community in Ecuador. (And to no one's surprise, she passed!) Now, let's dive into Juliana's inspiring life journey—her transition from volcanoes to the Cascades, the power of mentorship, and why she believes the most important tool a guide can have is the ability to listen.Links:Her Place in the Mountains – Patagonia StoriesJuliana's Instagram page – julianagarciaguideQuotes:I'm just a person that loves to be outside, loves to be in the mountains. yeah, that's it, I think.When I became part of the board… I became the first female to sit at that board ever. That blew my mind. I was like, ‘You kidding me?I knew that that discipline exist… and I was like, what? I'm going to learn how to ski as an adult. I'm going to learn a lot of our snow science and I'm going to do it.I love sharing how people put themselves outside of their limits, sometimes and they do it and they found joy doing it. I love to be part of that journey of other people.I think we are really good on listening. I think we are really good on perceiving what is going on in our surroundings when we are guiding… and I think we're really good on not being ashamed to turn around.I don't care anymore. I don't need to prove anything to anybody… I realized… I was pushing myself for no reason… no one is going to pushing me… I'm doing my own path.What we can do to help is just to choose to be uncomfortable for a moment in our daily life… We need to choose in our daily life things that we can do that support the energy overall.

    Mike has a few restaurant recommendations for Kristi Noem and the ICE team in town today!!The federal Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that Secretary Kristi Noem was in the Twin Cities, as a federal immigration crackdown continues.The agency posted a video to social media on Tuesday morning, showing Noem accompanying federal agents as they detained a man.The agency and Noem, in separate social media posts, labeled the video as being taken in Minneapolis — but it appeared to show the operation taking place at a building on Payne Avenue in St. Paul.DHS said the man is from Ecuador and is in the U.S. illegally, and that he's wanted for murder and sexual assault. Noem said that warrant is from Ecuador, and said he was also convicted of robbery and extortion. DHS and Noem did not provide further details on those cases.It was not immediately clear how long Noem would be in the Twin Cities.It's now been more than a month since federal officials announced an immigration operation targeting the Twin Cities. The agency has previously said that it's made hundreds of arrests.Gov. Tim Walz, who ended his bid for a third term Monday, sharply criticized the federal enforcement effort, raising concerns about both the scale of the operation and the lack of coordination with state officials. “We have a ridiculous surge of apparently 2,000 people not coordinating with us that are for a show of the cameras,” Walz said. “Why 2,000 folks? What are they coming to do? Do they want to coordinate with us?”MPR News contacted both ICE and the Department of Homeland Security to confirm the number of agents being deployed to Minnesota. DHS responded with a statement from Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, saying, “While for the safety of our officers we do not get into law enforcement footprint, DHS has surged law enforcement and has already made more than 1,000 arrests of murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and gang members.”Walz said the increased ICE presence is creating fear among immigrant communities, particularly communities of color. “What he's [Trump] doing to the Somali community is absolutely unconscionable,” Walz said, adding, "If you want us to fix fraud, come and help us do that. They're not interested in that.” Walz said he views the federal action as part of a broader political attack on Minnesota.
