Una Conmemoración en El Día De Los Difuntos: Juan Antonio Angel Iregui

En el Día De Los Difuntos, 2022: quisiera que recordaramos la trágica muerte de nuestro primo Juan Antonio Angel Iregui y toda su familia

Repasando crónicas de familia me encontré con el nombre de un muy querido primo segundo, Juan Antonio Angel Iregui que en nuestras edades jóvenes nos visitaba en los diferentes lugares de veraneo o residencias en Bogotá.

El se casó con Teresita Paez. Viajaron todos, papá, mamá y (creo) tres hijos. Y en un intento de viajar a/o de regreso de las ruinas de Tikal (viaje que en forma idéntica y a gran riesgo había hecho yo), en 1986, murieron todos en un horrendo accidente de aviación.

Mi curiosidad se agrandó, porque en tratando de completar el record en mi árbol genealógico (iniciado por la fotografía de Marujita Anjel, Anita Iregui y Leonor Silva, recientemente comentada en el blog, decía que Juan Antonio (hijo de Anita Iregui y de Alfonzo Angel Montoya) había muerto en su ciudad de origen, lo cual yo sabía que no era cierto. Logré documentar, con certificado de defunción, solamente la muerte de uno de ellos, Juan Carlos Angel Paez, su hijo de 22 años con un acta de defunción de Guatemala, que acompaño.

También logré documentar el propio accidente con Wikipedia y artículo del New York Times. Obviamente que mi registro está incompleto y agradeceré cualquier otro dato para mejorarlo. Pero en mi mente quedó para siempre grabada la imagen de esa fila de féretros en la iglesia, creo que Santa Ana, en Bogotá. Quize hacer homenaje a un primo muy querido en nuestras juventudes y a su bella esposa y familia.

Enorme tragedia familiar: nuestro primo-segundo, de nosotros los hijos de Anjel Tamayo,

Juan Carlos Angel Paez

Más Sobre Gabo En El Cuadragésimo Aniversario De Su Nobel

Nobel
Excelentes las crónicas sobre el Maestro Gabriel García Márquez, premio Nobel 1982, nuestro máximo orgullo literario. Yo soy un fanático estudioso de lo que considero su obra más inquietante, <<El Otoño del Patriarca>>, a la cual me le dediqué por motivos académicos de los cuales les contaré algún día. Hice un análisis estadístico sobre aspectos del libro:
Por ejemplo, el número de páginas disminuye ligeramente, o no, desde el Capitulo 1 (n = 44) al Capítulo 2 (n = 44) y al Capítulo 3 (n = 41). Se aumenta de nuevo en el Capítulo 4, (n = 42), y una vez más y más considerablemente para el Capítulo 5, (n = 51), a un nivel más alto que todos los anteriores. Se va a su nivel todavía más alto en el cap. 6, (n = 55 o 57).

La puntuación hace algo muy distinto, aunque está relacionado con lo anterior: respecto a su supuesta “ausencia de puntuación”, no es cierta pues sí la tiene, pero interesantemente muy “esparcida”; pero nó en forma aleatoria o al azar. Según mi análisis, el número de puntos sigue claramente la tendencia estadística de la distribución de Poisson, “la distribución del evento raro”. La gran mayoría de las páginas no tienen ningún punto. Sus capítulos, seis de ellos, empiezan, cada uno, con más intensidad en el número de puntos, y la intensidad va disminuyendo dentro del capítulo en cuestión, pero también de capitulo a capítulo (Foto anexa).
El número de puntos es mucho más alto en el capítulo 1 y va bajando en forma como de regresión hasta un mínimo en el capítulo 6, con la excepción de los capítulos 3 y 4, en qué la regresión se invierte.
Todo esto fue publicado por mí y desgraciadamente plagiado, y lo estoy actualizando, con tablas y cuadros. Pero interesantemente cuando le presenté al Maestro mismo mis hallazgos (en el restaurante de mi Mamá, Casa Vieja del Claustro) y le sugerí que quizá esto mostraba que había escrito los capítulos en un orden distinto al publicado, me contesto algo así como, <<…m….. chico, me descubriste un secreto>>. Mis cálculos los hice en una copia de la primera edición de Plaza y Janes que el me había dedicado, según se ve en la otra foto anexa.

#BIDEN & HARRIS

#BIDEN & HARRIS

De: Manuel J Torres-Anjel

BIDEN & HARRIS
   Ahora bien un pequeño resumen sobre Mr. Biden:
De origen clase trabajadora, con tartamudeo, enfermedad que el corrigió hasta cierto punto con auto esfuerzo. No había terapia en ese momento. (La Bestia del Trump se atreve a burlarse de el, arremedándolo)!
  Senator de Los EEUU a los 29 anhos, con dispensa pues se requería tener 30.
  En ese instante pierde a su esposa y niña-bebe en un accidente. Los dos niños sobreviven, aunque gravemente heridos. Piensa en renunciar y hasta en suicidarse. Pero no!
  Asciende al Senado pero cada noche toma el tren de WDC a Delaware (2 horas), para estar con los niños.
  En el Senado ocupa todos los cargos en diferentes comités. Por lo tanto es un experto en las arte parlamentarias y gobierno. Siempre trabajando con, y siendo apreciado, por colegas de ambos lados.
  Corre como candidato a Presidente dos veces y pierde. En política correr y perder son experiencias valiosísimas. Y no se amedrenta, sigue en el Senado.
  El Presidente Obama, el mas intelectualmente preparado (Columbia Univ. y Harvard, estudiante estelar) y más joven candidato a Presidente lo escoje como su VP y ganan con una super-mayoría de votos.
  Es un VP de verdad, con responsabilidades especificas en lo nacional a internacional y establece relaciones valiosísimas con muchos jefes de estado y jefes de gobierno en muchos paises que hoy dia lo apoyan (incluida La China, la 2a. si no 1a. potencia mundial. Trump ha decidido pelearle en vez de negociarle, con pésimos resultados). Su norma es no pelear sino negociar, a diferencia de La Bestia.
  Biden es altamente respetado por las minorías (los afro-americanos de mi ex-estado de residencia le salvaron su elección) y escoge a Tamala Harris (joven, multiracial, sobrecalificada, ex-District Attorney de San Francisco, y ex-Attorney General de California, y ahora Senadora Federal por su propio estado) para VP. Ella fue su ascendrada rival durante las elecciones primarias. La mayor peste de este país es el acendrado racismo y Biden y Harris representan todo lo contrario y por eso van a ganar contra el mas corrupto, incompetente y racista) presidente y gobierno en la historia de los EEUU de América.

  Abrazos.

Amor En Los Tiempos Del Colera/en Espanol; in English/Love In the Times of Cholera. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Colombia, Noble Prize 1982.

FACEBOOK BLOG

BILINGUAL

THE PERFECT NOVEL FOR NOW  Amor En Los Tiempos Del Colera/en Espanol & in English/Love In the Times of Cholera. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Colombia, Noble Prize 1982.  FACEBOOK BLOGLA NOVELA PERFECTA POR AHORA   Amor En Los Tiempos Del Cólera/en Español//En Inglés/Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera. Gabriel García Márquez, Colombia, Premio Noble 1982.  Leyéndola por enésima vez, pero ahora escuchándola por primera vez. De esta manera puedo mejor “saborear” la “delicia” de las palabras. Ahora me doy cuenta de la increíble cantidad de sub-historias, algunas novellas (si, con doble “l”) algunas historias cortas, casi que conmigo de pie dentro de la magnífica novela maestra. También me doy cuenta del énfasis que Gabo pone en el aspecto de la memoria, o la pérdida de ella, podría ser como un augurio de lo que le iba a pasar a él mismo. No trate Ud. de llevarla al marco del siglo XXI o a tratar de ajustarla al movimiento de #MeToo. Eso no seria justo. Aunque hay muchas transgresiones en  contra de él, se finalizan siempre con un toque de desaprobación, moraleja y arrepentimiento. Pero la premisa sigue siendo el amor en sus muchas manifestaciones y la continua comparación del mismo con el cólera, la enfermedad. Este último aspecto tiene en su narración muchas lecciones en cuanto a la pandemia de COVID19 se refiere. Hay serias lecciones en epidemiología, rastreo de contactos y buena, frente a mala, gobernanza en el caso de una pandemia.
  Re-reading it for the nth time but now listening to it for the first time. This way I can better “taste” the “deliciousness” of the words. I realize now the amazing number of sub-stories, some novellas some short stories, almost self standing within the magnificent master novel. I also realize the emphasis that Gabo places on the aspect of memory, or the loss of it, may be as a predictor of what was going to happen to him.Do not try to bring it to the 21st. Century of frame or the setting of #Me Too. That is not fair game, although, even if there are many transgressions to it, they are finalised with a touch of disapproval, morale and regret . But the premise remains love in its many manifestations and the continuous comparison of it with cholera, the disease. The latter has in its narration very many lessons as the COVID19 pandemic is concerned. There are serious lessons in epidemiology, contact tracing and good, vs. bad governance in a pandemic.

#2020’Plandemic’ conspiracy video removed by Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo – The Washington Post

My take on this [below, Plandemic, Judy Mikovitz, etc.] controversy. As it happens with good scientists that become rogue, there are many interesting points in her ideas and stories. What I cannot forgive Judy Micovitz for is her anti-vaccine (Anti-Vax) stand that has killed so many children. Yes, vaccines have had some horrid stories behind them but they are the difference between medieval and modern medicine. Even younger generations, not to say mine, suffered terribly by diseases that are nowadays almost 100% disappeared and preventable thanks to vaccination. Former generations had, as I had, classmates suffering of polio, whipping cough, measles, even chicken pox that our children did not have to face: until this stupidity of AntiVax, came in and thanks to them all of these diseases are criminally being brought back. We have measles outbreaks in our USA universities!!!! Anti polio-vacciners are being killed in Pakistan! Polio was well in its way to full control until the stupidity of AntiVax took over. Part of Mikovitz’s HAIDS stories are true, there was an almost mortal fight between Larry Kramer and Anthony Fauci (remember that I worked directly under him); but nowadays Kramer calls Fauci “the only true and great hero among government officials in the AIDS crisis.^[1].  And yes, after billions of dollars there is no reliable vaccine against HAIDS.  Mikovitz was jailed because of accusation of misappropriation of documents. She was released after 5 days. Her scientific papers have been now decried by the famous journals that published them. Her videos have been removed from YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook. At times victim? Perhaps. But she has been so wrong and damaging in so many points, particularly the AntiVax, and also right in some others, that she brought upon herself to be silenced… Her confusing mixture of truths and absurdities remains even nowadays including COVID19. Her point of view, respectable physicians are presented in the video expressing the same, with respect to excessive isolation and over-masking of younger people,  I happen to agree with. On the other hand her support of antimalarial drugs, effective against malaria but very toxic in themselves, is unconscionable and absurd. It brings her close to the stupidity of Trump himself. … and that is also unforgivable.

In summary, yes, interesting ideas perverted by terribly bad ones.

PS: I worked at NIAID under Fauci’s directorship, but not under her because her rank at the time would have put me as her equal or superior, but mostly because she did not work at NIH as a proper career scientist. No matter what, and even if she raised some valid points, she becomes unreliable by having moved to exaggeration and conspiracy.

#2020-LUC MONTAGNIER

LUC MONTAGNIER

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luc_Montagnier

DISCLAIMER: I have met Dr. MONTAGNIER personally, visited with him at the Pasteur Institute and defended him within NIH even though in my effort to do that I had to take a position against Robert Gallo the super emperor of HIV within NIH. I was right as MONTAGNIER was right, and later the two of them made peace through the efforts of many of us that believed in their mutual greatness, and accepted to accept their sometimes strange behaviors.

A great scientist in his own right and time who has however since suffered of what other prestigious scientists have suffered in their latter years: some call it “pathological science”. He has moved into areas that are not his areas, i.e. Electromagnetism, eliciting other scientist to very seriously worry about his methods and mental stability.

<<He described the paper as “one of the more unprofessional write-ups I’ve ever run across”, and criticized the publication process as having an “unbelievable turnaround” time: “another suspicious sign are the dates. This paper was submitted on 3 January 2009, revised on 5 January 2009, and accepted on 6 January 2009”, leading him to ask: “Who reviewed this, the author’s mother? Maybe someone even closer. Guess who the chairman of the editorial board is: Luc Montagnier.”^[31]>>

The former comment had to do with some of his Montagnier’s developments, and to the fact that he has moved himself to China, to a university that lets him do his own thing like creating his own journal and his own “peer evaluation” committee with himself as presiding officer. He has decided to jump unto disparaging ideas like becoming anti-vaccination (this one I cannot forgive him for), and complicated undefined ideas like his conspiracy theories on the Corona19 virus.

My Contribution To The COVID19 Situation-Update1

MY FACEBOOK BLOG

Introduction and disclaimer:

   Some of my friends kindly have remembered that areas like COVID19 are my specialty as a Comparative Pathologist cum Epidemiologist from University of California.

Anthony Fauci was my supervisor at NIAID during the HIV-AIDS massive emergency funding of grants.

Here is my take on it:

   First problem is the ongoing Central Power and its having disbanded the Wite House Health Emergency Desk. (That was Mr. Genius #2 Bolton).

  Second, and also related to the Central Government, is the persistent misinformation, incompetence but worse mendacity and stupidity. Of course, I am excluding Dr. Anthony Fauci, the truthful expert but already beleaguered figure.

  Ignorance in the overall USA’s population confuses the 5 essential terms, interrelated at times but very different:

  … healthy, infected, affected, diseased and, of course, dead.

  A great proportion of the population, for now, remains healthy. Children are almost completely refractory, young people mostly but not totally refractory, but able to transmit the virus if infected and symptomless. Many adults are beginning to be infected: they get the virus, may transmit it, either with mild or no symptoms whatsoever.

  …some, the affected, present relatively minor symptoms, mostly unpleasant. Self quarantine. Then the sick 😷: Still mostly able to take care of themselves at home, self quarantine. The exception is our elderly age group (my own, at 78) whose sickness may become complicated particularly for that enormous proportion of the population in USA that are extremely unhealthy. Look around!

  In all of this there is the problem of no insurance, attacks on Medicaid, and the established idea of running to emergency hospitals which would saturate the system. Big trouble!!!! And the lack of sick leave and vacation in a great number of USA employees and workers (including me in my former hospital employment)…

  …and then the dead. But no matter what overall mortality is still relatively low, tragic none-the-less, even of for the diseased but a very serious possibility in the specific feeble population.

  Now, epidemics diminish in the following ways: virus already attacked all the “attackable” individuals; mortality “emptied” the number of those attackable; and, survivors, it seems, becoming protected. But also, dramatic measures, even if exaggerated, break the circle of contacts thus also diminishing the attackables out-there because they are not THAT MANY out-there. And of course vaccination when available. Here comes the other tragedy: even before this Central Government, the USA has systematically become not adept at the production of vaccines and it’s close and essential relative, production of diagnostics. And this Central Government has increased the problem by refusing to let the countries that know how to do it to supply us with the diagnostics that we need; i.e. the German companies, ready to go but not allowed to go in the USA.

Essential interview and book for those of us that admire Pat Conroy

Essential interview and book for those of us that admire Pat Conroy
The Ealter Edgar Journal
<<Pat Conroy: My Exaggerated Life>>
By WALTER EDGAR • OCT 1, 2018
TweetShareGoogle+Email

Pat Conroy and Katherine Clark
CREDIT TAMIKA MOORE/COURTESY OF THE AUTHOR
Pat Conroy’s memoirs and autobiographical novels contain a great deal about his life, but there is much he hasn’t revealed with readers until now. My Exaggerated Life (2018, University of South Carolina Press) is the product of a special collaboration between this great American author and oral biographer Katherine Clark, who recorded two hundred hours of conversations with Conroy before he passed away in 2016. In the spring and summer of 2014, the two spoke for an hour or more on the phone every day. No subject was off limits, including aspects of his tumultuous life he had never before revealed.

This oral biography presents Conroy the man, as if speaking in person, in the colloquial voice familiar to family and friends. This voice is quite different from the authorial style found in his books, which are famous for their lyricism and poetic descriptions. Here Conroy is blunt, plainspoken, and uncommonly candid. While his novels are known for their tragic elements, this volume is suffused with Conroy’s sense of humor, which he credits with saving his life.

Clark talks with Walter Edgar about her relationship with Pat Conroy, and about the things she discovered about him in their many conversations.

LEAVE MY FORMER PRESIDENT ALONE

Leave him alone. He has enough having to deal with four scolding women at his White Home (Mrs. Obama’s faces, yes, say, it all). These were three young people, all of them Heads of Government, our stressed President also Head of State, trying to have a minute of relaxation, as Mr. Madiba knew how to have when, in all occasions, as a real South African, he started to dance and sing, by the way and very rare in that gorgeous country, off tune. By the way, Helle-Thorning-Schmidt, the successful PM of Denmark also has enough of abusive opposition from her own opposition in Parliament, and otherwise. Of the troubles of the PM of the UK we need not to narrate here. Leave them alone…

My review – Edit review
“A little slow & cheesy in the middle but overall I enjoyed it”, says a reviewer in Goodreads. The cheesiness is mostly in the first dialogue between Sofia, the college girl, and Luke, the cowboy. But still one wonders what happens next and how the characters unite. Let us see! Or better still, let us hear, as I have followed the book drop-by-drop in NPR’ Radio Reader (always superb, by the way). And I heard and saw, because, I confess, I could not stand the intrigue, so I exposed myself to a new experience that resulted in what is a great idea: I obtained a review and analysis on the book: The Longest Ride: by Nicholas Sparks — Analysis [Kindle Edition] Expert Book Reviews (Author), available in eBook version, only, which incidentally may be synchronized with the audible.com audio book. Yes, that gave rise to a spoiler but that I thoroughly enjoyed. Actually with this multi-prong approach I have enjoyed the book much more and passed the “cheesiness”.
