Ricardo Ponce Henriquez’s new book Mi Gran Obsesión: Aristóteles Onassis shares the author’s research on the truth of former president John F. Kennedy’s assassination

MIDLOTHIAN, Va., Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Mi Gran Obsesión: Aristóteles Onassis was created by Ricardo Ponce Henriquez.

MIDLOTHIAN, Va., Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Mi Gran Obsesión: Aristóteles Onassis was created by Ricardo Ponce Henriquez. Ricardo Ponce Henriquez is an author with a degree in business administration. He is currently retired but still serves as an independent insurance advisor. He is also a musician and painter.

Ricardo Ponce Henriquez said this about his book: «You’re concerned about this novel. It arises from his relationship which, during his youth, he maintained with the US government program Alliance for Progress created precisely by President John F. Kennedy. When this program was established in El Salvador, the base was in the Cultural Center of the Montserrat neighborhood where volunteers from that country taught English, art, music, and theater classes to an approximate group of twenty-five young people, forming an artistic cast to develop multiple activities, including square dance. During this period, the assassination of President Kennedy happened, which impacted many young people within the program due to the sympathy that this president generated around the world. This is how the author is born with the concern to investigate what happened and who had carried it out. That is why for years, he has read and researched about it; and after reading so much that has been said, written, and reports of conspiracies, in his mind, the writer raised his own position of what could really have happened.

The author proposes that people who read his book are inclined to take this hypothesis as true and he challenges those who disagree, to show him that it was not.»

Published by Page Publishing, Ricardo Ponce Henriquez’s new book Mi Gran Obsesión: Aristóteles Onassis delves into the author’s personal outlook on the late president’s untimely death that greatly impacted the world.

Consumers who wish to discover a new perspective on the historical tragedy of former president John F. Kennedy can purchase Mi Gran Obsesión: Aristóteles Onassis in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Manfio Castilla’s new book Bayoneta Pelada, a harrowing chronicle of Algodón’s toilful era that affected the poor and marginalized

BERKELEY, Illinois, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Bayoneta Pelada was created by Manfio Castilla.

BERKELEY, Illinois, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Bayoneta Pelada was created by Manfio Castilla. Manfio is an author with an associate degree in arts from Truman College in Chicago. After having completed five years as a legal resident, he became a citizen of the United States of America.

Castilla said this about his book: «During the 1940s, unfortunate violence developed in Algodón, which succeeded in exterminating most of the farmers and peasants of that country—something that was horrendous because the government of that time was dedicated to maintaining violence against the peasants of the town of Algiona. This was such an absurd violence because the wealthy of the town were not attacked, but the peasants and farmers were attacked. This land was bathed in blood at the hands of the tombos of that era, who captured farmers and peasants, stealing what they produced, abusing their women, and wreaking havoc on Algodón.

There were many encounters with the tombos. They sacrificed many citizens and peasants until some ex-military and some Indians who knew how to fight defeated the tombos long before the elections were held to reelect the same president who belonged to the color blue and who was convinced that he could win the mandate again for the next presidential term, and thus continue with the rampage of combats against the peasants, farmers, and all the citizens of the Republic of Algodón.

You, reader friends, by reading this book titled Bayoneta Pelada with depth, will find out about all the events that occurred in that era of the ’40s.»

Published by Page Publishing, Manfio Castilla’s new book Bayoneta Pelada exposes the horrendous crimes against humanity committed against the citizens of Algodón to shed light on the reality of corruption, greed, and tyranny of the innocent.

Consumers who wish to learn about the horrific events that ravaged Algodón can purchase Bayoneta Pelada in any bookstore or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Gryphon USA: Biden plan to delay evictions ends with little benefit for tenants or landlords

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — President-elect Biden’s plan to extend moratorium on evictions another eight months only creates a larger mess for landlords and tenants, Columbus distressed asset manager and foreclosure broker/auctioneer Richard Kruse believes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — President-elect Biden’s plan to extend moratorium on evictions another eight months only creates a larger mess for landlords and tenants, Columbus distressed asset manager and foreclosure broker/auctioneer Richard Kruse believes.

Biden has unveiled a $1.9 billion stimulus plan that includes extending the eviction ban to Sept. 30 in a bid «to avoid a flood of foreclosure and eviction filings» awaiting courts in the nearly 10 months since the federal government originally put a Covid moratorium into effect.

«In the end, there will be an even bigger tsunami of evictions and foreclosures,» said Kruse, principal of Gryphon USA. «This is a delay in the market unraveling itself and increases the inevitable consequences.»

Various government agencies had said the moratoria were scheduled to expire at the end of 2020. That has since been extended to January 31 to allow Biden to take office and weigh in on the issue.

In a plan outlined on Jan. 14, the incoming administration plans to ask Congress to approve $30 billion in rental assistance on top of the $25 billion Congress approved in the late 2020 as part of an earlier $900 billion stimulus package.

Kruse, a 25-year-veteran of managing and selling nonperforming real estate for lenders, said even if the various federal agencies hold to the proposed Sept. 30 date, evictions and foreclosures likely wouldn’t take effect until after the Thanksgiving or Christmas 2021 holiday.

He said the extent of the past-due rent and mortgage is hard to quantify.  The National Council of State Housing Agencies estimates tenants have between $34 billion and $70 billion in past due rents as of Dec. 31.  If correct, the Biden plan barely covers the low range estimates.

«At a maximum, billions in newly printed money pays some back rent and pays some delinquent utilities,» Kruse said. «Tenants are still behind, landlords are potentially still behind, and there is still no plan for what happens next other than higher taxes more national debt and looming inflation.  The Biden team continues to kick an already dented can down a crumbling road for another year.»

MIDLOTHIAN, Va., 18 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El reciente lanzamiento del libro Mi gran obsesión: Aristóteles Onassis, escrito por el autor Ricardo Ponce Henriquez, y publicado por la editorial Page Publishing, se presenta bajo una novela de análisis tras el estudio de todos los sucesos en torno al asesinato del presidente estadounidense J. F. Kennedy, ojeando a través de la historia, dando como resultado una teoría sustentada en hechos del posible autor material del mismo.

Mi gran obsesión: Aristóteles Onassis, es una obra escrita por la mano del autor Ricardo Ponce Henriquez, es egresado en Administración de Empresas, durante su vida laboral siempre fue un exitoso ejecutivo y gerente de ventas en compañías de prestigio. Los últimos años se ha dedicado al ramo de las aseguradoras, siendo actualmente jubilado, pero aún presta sus servicios como asesor independiente en seguros. Es músico y pintor aficionado y ahora adicional, se inicia con su primera obra como escritor. Su inquietud para escribir sobre esta novela nace de su relación, que, durante sus años de juventud, mantuvo con el programa del gobierno de EE. UU., Alianza para el Progreso, creado precisamente por el presidente John F. Kennedy. Cuando este programa se estableció en El Salvador, la base fue en el Centro Cultural de la colonia Montserrat, donde voluntarios de ese país impartían, a un grupo aproximado de 25 jóvenes, clases de inglés, arte, música y teatro, formándose un elenco artístico para desarrollar múltiples actividades, dentro de ellas el baile de square dance.

El autor de esta extraordinaria obra, Ricardo Ponce Henriquez, nos habla un poco acerca de la misma: «Durante el periodo que me involucré en el programa de Alianza para el progreso sucedió el asesinato del presidente Kennedy, que impactó a muchos jóvenes dentro del programa, por la simpatía que este presidente generó alrededor del mundo. Así es como me nace la inquietud por investigar qué sucedió y quién lo había llevado a cabo; por eso, durante años, he leído e investigado al respecto, y después de leer tanto que se ha dicho, escrito y reportes de conspiraciones, en mi mente se planteó una posición de lo que realmente pudo haber sucedido. Mi planteamiento es que las personas que lean mi libro se inclinen a tomar esta hipótesis como verdadera, y lanzo el reto al que no esté de acuerdo, que demuestre que no fue así».

Publicada por la editorial Page Publishing, la obra del autor Ricardo Ponce Henriquez, Mi gran obsesión: Aristóteles Onassis, es una novela que se presenta bajo un análisis tras el estudio de todos los sucesos en torno al asesinato del presidente estadounidense J. F. Kennedy, ojeando a través de la historia, dando como resultado una teoría sustentada en hechos del posible autor material del mismo.

20,000m2 artwork GROW by Daan Roosegaarde highlights the beauty of agriculture

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Daan Roosegaarde’s latest artwork GROW is an homage to the beauty and importance of agriculture. In the world film premiere GROW appears as a luminous dreamscape. Red and blue lights wash like waves over an enormous field surrounded by darkness. GROW is inspired by science exploring how certain «recipes» of light can improve plants’ growth and resilience.

Most of the time we hardly notice the huge areas of the Earth which are literally feeding us. GROW highlights the importance of innovation in the agriculture system: How can cutting-edge light design help plants to grow more sustainably? How can we make the farmer the hero?

GROW consists of a design-based light recipe which shines vertically across 20,000m2 of farmland with leek (Allium porrum). You experience the artwork as ‘dancing lights’ across the huge agricultural field. The light is poetic, and inspired by photobiology light science technologies which have shown that certain recipes of blue, red, and ultraviolet light can enhance plant growth and reduce the use of pesticides by up to 50%.

The film GROW (which can be viewed at https://studioroosegaarde.net/project/grow) shows the development of this luminous dreamscape and how the beauty of light can help plants. GROW can be good for nature but also sends hopeful light to people. It gives a new meaning to the word ‘agri-culture’ by reframing the landscape as a living cultural artwork.

GROW is part of the artist-in-residence program of Rabobank. Daan Roosegaarde and his team of designers and experts developed GROW over two years, informed by expert knowledge sessions at Studio Roosegaarde, Wageningen University & Research, Springtij Forum, and the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Wiebe Draijer, Chairman of the Managing Board, Rabobank: «It is really inspiring to work with an artist like Daan Roosegaarde on how to grow a better world together.»

Artist Daan Roosegaarde: «GROW is the dreamscape which shows the beauty of light and sustainability. Not as a utopia but as a protopia, improving step by step.»

Prof. Dr. Wargent, PhD, Chief Science Officer at BioLumic, world leading expert in plant photobiology: «The project GROW is a fascinating project and supported by scientific research which shows specific light recipes can enhance growth and reduce pesticide use up to 50%.»

Alfa Laval joins forces with marine industry players to accelerate decarbonization

LUND, Sweden, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has joined a project with DTU Energy, Haldor Topsoe, Svitzer and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon to accelerate the development of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology, which can use green fuels to generate electricity.

LUND, Sweden, Jan. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has joined a project with DTU Energy, Haldor Topsoe, Svitzer and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon to accelerate the development of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology, which can use green fuels to generate electricity. Alfa Laval will head the development initiative, with the aim to find scalable solutions for noncarbon fuels for the shipping industry.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) targets a 50 percent reduction of vessel-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Today, global shipping accounts for around 3 percent of global carbon emissions, a share which is estimated to increase in the coming decades (as other industries tackle climate emissions). To achieve the long-term target of decarbonization the industry must shift towards new fuel types and technologies.

To accelerate the development of viable technologies, a coordinated effort within applied research is needed across the entire supply chain. The project, `SOFC4Maritime’, will target utilization of future green fuels – such as ammonia, hydrogen or bio-methane – for power production onboard marine vessels.

«Addressing shipping’s environmental challenges – and climate change in particular – will require a diverse range of strong technologies. By partnering with fellow marine industry experts, we can investigate the possibilities and bring them to fruition in time to make a difference,» says Sameer Kalra, President of the Marine Division.

Did you know that… since ships have a lifetime of 20 years or more, zero-emission vessels must begin entering the global fleet by 2030 for a 50 percent reduction to be achieved by 2050?

This is Alfa Laval 

Alfa Laval is active in the areas of Energy, Marine, and Food & Water, offering its expertise, products, and service to a wide range of industries in some 100 countries. The company is committed to optimizing processes, creating responsible growth, and driving progress – always going the extra mile to support customers in achieving their business goals and sustainability targets.

Alfa Laval’s innovative technologies are dedicated to purifying, refining, and reusing materials, promoting more responsible use of natural resources. They contribute to improved energy efficiency and heat recovery, better water treatment, and reduced emissions. Thereby, Alfa Laval is not only accelerating success for its customers, but also for people and the planet. Making the world better, every day. It’s all about Advancing better™.

Alfa Laval has 17,500 employees. Annual sales in 2019 were SEK 46.5 billion (approx. EUR 4.4 billion). The company is listed on Nasdaq OMX.
