Jesse Owens of USA winning gold for the long jump in the summer Olympics in Germany, 1936.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The man saluting behind Owens is Lutz Long, a German who shared training tips with Owens and was the first to openly congratulate him after his final jump in full view of Hitler.

After the Olympics, the two kept in touch via mail. Below is Long's last letter to Owens while he was stationed with the German Army in North Africa during World War 2. Long was later killed in action during the allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

"I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father.⁣⁣

My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me.

It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the ground, I knew that you were in prayer.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

I think I might believe in God.⁣⁣ And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Your brother,⁣⁣ Luz"⁣⁣

@Viri_Rios Muy interesante el análisis, creo faltó la gráfica que muestre la cantidad de gente total que recibe las transferencias.

Pareciera que la intención de los programas es darle dinero a la mayor cantidad de gente sin importar el nivel de ingresos (y más gente = más votos).

@ValaAfshar This looks cool but it is actually super inefficient, each item ends up taking like 3x the volume compared to regular folding.

Medellin, Colombia has 100s of powerful gangs, but still went from one of the most violent cities in the world to homicide rates far lower than that of St Louis, Baltimore or Detroit. What happened?

The story here: great success, but at a terrible & hidden price.

Don't let them prevent journalists from telling the truth.

When #PressFreedom is silenced, when journalists are censored, all our other freedoms & rights are at risk.

Apparently all blue-eyed people are descended from one ancestor who lived near the Black Sea 6,000 - 10,000 years ago. All eyes were brown until a single mutation occurred in one person that turned off melanin production in their eyes. Who knew?

Everything we call civilization was invented in the last 500 generations—way too short a time for our bodies and brains to re-optimize. We're a bunch of primates in a totally unnatural environment, trying our best. Good thing to keep in mind!

Hoy, el aeropuerto AICM cuenta con un promedio aproximado de 900 operaciones aéreas diarias. Ha llegado a las 1200 operaciones, pero su límite de seguridad, está en las 1100.

Hoy, trabaja en las 900 operaciones por falta de mantenimiento y para evitar conflictos con el AIFA.
