Travesía panameña es un libro de carácter divulgativo y científico, donde lo imaginario, aventurero y lo verdadero, se interpolan junto con lo coloquial. En él se relata la herencia humana proveniente del Reino Animal, el origen africano y los viajes épicos que ha desarrollado hasta colonizar el Istmo de Panamá. Travesía panameña intenta retomar las preguntas clásicas filosóficas del ser humano: ¿Quiénes somos? ¿De dónde venimos? Y sus respuestas las integra con la exploración de nuestra historia panameña. Rescata de igual manera, algunos héroes indígenas: Paris, Natá, Escoria, Careta, Comogre, entre otros; de quiénes poco se habla en Panamá. Cuenta, cómo, con tenacidad y persistencia, nuestros hermanos españoles llegaron y contribuyeron a construir nuestra identidad. Las evidencias presentadas con rigurosidad detallan que Panamá prehispánico estaba al mismo nivel cultural que nuestros hermanos europeos colonizadores. La obra integra importantes publicaciones científicas de arqueólogos, genetistas, lingüistas, historiadores y otros científicos, con información de la época narrada por los actores del momento, que vivieron e...

Con esta historia he querido reforzar nuestro linaje africano, quienes realizaron una travesía épica desde África hasta llegar y asentarse en el Istmo de Panamá hace unos 12,500 años. Igualmente, he querido contarles, desde el punto de vista panameño, cómo llegamos aquí desde norte América y, luego, recibimos la influencia de nuestros hermanos europeos. Con este relato, creo haber recopilado las pruebas arqueológicas, genéticas e históricas para entender que el 83% de los panameños del siglo XXI tenemos sangre indígena. Y a pesar, de que hablamos español y nuestra cultura es occidental, sólo el 2% de los panameños conservan aun su acervo genético europeo intacto. Es una afirmación que contrasta, significativamente, con lo que la gente panameña percibe hoy. Por ejemplo, según los datos del Censo 2010, sólo el 12,3% de la población panameña se reconoce de origen indígena. Se ignora además, que el 9% de la población panameña, tiene como lengua materna una variante moderna del chibcha; cuya integridad y antigüedad sobrepasa el castellano que hablamos el resto de la población. También he querido rescatar algunos héroes indíge...

Da es offenbar für die ständig zunehmende Automatisierung keine Grenzen gibt, kann man sich vorstellen, dass Automaten (heuter noch meist als Roboter bezeichnet) sich soweit weiterentwickeln werden, dass ihre Entwicklung von selbst, ohne Mithilfe des Menschen, weitergeht. So gesehen, könnten sie mit der Zeit die Menschen auf der Erde ersetzen. Alles, was der Mensch bisher an Wissen entwickelt hat, könnte dann in den Automaten weit besser aufbewahrt und weiterentwickelt werde. - Die diesbezüglichen überlegungen sind hier zusammengetragen, zum Nutzen aller, die sich schon selbst Gedanken in dieser Richtung gemacht haben....

An Air Force RB-47, equipped with electronic countermeasures (ECM) gear and manned by six officers, was followed by an unidentified object for a distance of well over 700 mi. and for a time period of 1.5 hr., as it flew from Mississippi, through Louisiana and Texas and into Oklahoma. The object was, at various times, seen visually by the cockpit crew as an intensely luminous light, followed by ground-radar and detected on ECM monitoring gear aboard the RB-47. Of special, interest in this case are several instances of simultaneous appearances and disappearances on all three of those physically distinct "channels," and rapidity of maneuvers beyond the prior experience of the aircrew....

To the degree that the engineering characteristics of UFOs can be estimated by empirical observation, in my opinion the above-referenced, recently-published book by Paul Hill provides the most reliable, concise summary of engineering-type data available. [1] The data were compiled over decades of research by a Chief Scientist-Manager at NASA's Langley Research Center [2] who acted as an informal clearinghouse for UFO-related data. The strength of the compilation lies in its thoughtful separation of wheat from chaff, and the analysis of the former into coherent patterns, including detailed calculations. Perhaps surprising to the casually interested, under careful examination the observations, rather than defying the laws of physics as naive interpretation might suggest, instead appear to be solidly commensurate with them, as the following discussion shows....

Was America discovered by Norwegian Vikings, and did they establish Norse colonies in North-America? And if so, why and how did they disappear? In this book, the author gives an overview of the discussion thas has been raging ever since the Kensington Rune Stone was discovered - or was claimed to have been discovered - in 1898. And what about other rune stones that have appeared in the USA during the last century - are they real or fake? The author examines this and many other issues, like traces in the Indian culture, old maps and buildings, and of course Medieval documents. Together, all this material gives an overwhelming evidence that an extensive Norse exploration or even permanent settlements may have taken place. Text in Norwegian....

In the sixteenth century the N.H. Marin Sanudo said that the Venetian Republic would last forever, forever and ever. His opinion was not isolated, but a widespread belief. Even this shows how our fathers were distant from the common mentality of today. Who would ever say, these days, that a state will last forever? La Serenissima lasted fourteen centuries, but the self-government of the Venetian people since time immemorial. The objective fact is impressive. Even more striking the reason for the sealing of our institutions: the love of country. In this world no longer seems to really believe in the common good. The maximum they seek good people is to live honestly. At the time of St. Mark, however, rulers and lived in the common good and the size of the state. Everyone believed in institutions and there were the same....

Early explorers were followed by prospectors and miners. Settlers who saw the possibilities for agriculture and ranching in the region were not far behind them. The Ash Meadows area, a true desert oasis, was the home of many people, including early community builder "Dad" Fairbanks and some of dubious reputation, such as the legendary desert frontiersman Jack Longstreet. Discovery of borax, clay deposits, and marble and the arrival of the railroads brought new opportunity to the valley's residents around the turn of the century....

This paper examines how these rules affected the effective military execution of the Rolling Thunder air campaign, as well as their impact on American aircrews and the enemy. During the Vietnam War, many American air commanders were convinced that rigid Rules of Engagement (ROEs) prevented an American aerial victory over North Vietnam during the Rolling Thunder air campaign from 1965-1968. ROEs became so complicated and changed so often that aircrews found it difficult to know what the rules were from day to day. As a result, many vital military targets were either not bombed or were attacked in a very limited and piecemeal fashion....
