Colombian energy giant Ecopetrol has polluted hundreds of sites with oil, including water sources and biodiverse wetlands, the BBC World Service has found. However, as detailed in a new documentary produced and directed by Owen Pinnell of the BBC: "Exposing the toxic record of Colombia's oil giant | BBC World Service Documentaries,:" there are far more issues involving Colombia's Ecopetrol beyond just pollution the region's water sources such as potential links to paramilitary groups. As quoted in the documentary: "Matthew Smith, an oil analyst and financial journalist based in Colombia, says he does not believe Ecopetrol managers are involved in threats by armed groups. But he says there is an "immense" overlap between former paramilitary groups and the private security sector. Private security firms often employ former members of paramilitary groups and compete for lucrative contracts to protect oil facilities, he says.   Whistleblower and former employee of Ecopetrol, Mr Olarte shared internal Ecopetrol emails (now named "The Iguana Papers") showing that in 2018, the company paid a total of $65m to more than 2,800 private security companies. "There is always that risk of some sort of contagion between the private security companies, the types of people they employ, and their desire to continually maintain their contract," Mr Smith says. He says this could potentially even include kidnapping or murdering community leaders or environmental defenders in order to "ensure that Ecopetrol's operations proceed smoothly". And so, journalists Emily Hart and Richard McColl of the Colombia Calling podcast, have the fantastic opportunity to discuss what it meant to film this documentary, meet the courageous people who were and are willing to speak out about some of the crimes being committed in the region of Barrancabermeja, Santander and how the whole area is being affected by this. BBC Article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crewlj11jljo Tune in and see the documentary here: https://youtu.be/Grp3YRhSf2o This is a truly incredible episode of the Colombia Calling podcast, please be sure to share, like and spread the word. And as always, tune in to the Colombia Briefing, reported by Emily Hart.

In this episode of the Liquid Weekly podcast, hosts Karl Meisterheim and Taylor Page welcome Matthew Smith, a Shopify developer and creator of the app Sections Pro. The conversation delves into Matt's journey into Shopify development, the challenges of balancing a full-time job with app development, and the exciting new features of Shopify's theme blocks. In this conversation, Taylor Page and Matt Smith discuss various aspects of app development within the Shopify ecosystem, including the importance of usability, theme customization, pricing strategies, and the role of ROI in app success. They also delve into support strategies for app developers, the challenges of navigating Shopify's review system, and the future of Shopify's tech stack. The discussion highlights the need for developers to understand their audience and the market dynamics to create successful applications. Takeaways Matt started his journey in Shopify development around 2000. Sections Pro emerged from Matt's experiences with previous app failures. The app development process involves learning from failures and iterating. Fast deployment is crucial for maintaining productivity in development. Theme blocks allow for more flexibility and reusability in Shopify themes. Current limitations of theme blocks include their inability to coexist with section-defined blocks. The future of theme blocks looks promising as Shopify continues to improve UX. Matt emphasizes the importance of community feedback in app development. The conversation highlights the balance between speed and user experience in app design. Matt's approach to development is consistent and incremental, focusing on daily progress. If you build an app, you don't use your app. It's important to showcase the value of your app to users. Apps that demonstrate ROI tend to perform better in the market. Support should be minimized to enhance user experience. Reviews are crucial for app visibility and success. Understanding customer needs is key to app development. Pricing strategies should reflect the value provided to users. Partnerships and integrations can enhance app functionality. Navigating Shopify's review system can be challenging for developers. The tech stack should align with Shopify's evolving vision.
