The Zionist Organization of America, under the dynamic leadership of its National President, Morton A. Klein, is making a difference -- for Israel and for the Jewish people.
The ZOA Pressures PLO to Stop Violating the Peace Accords.
Congress recently passed the Specter-Shelby-Lowey Amendment to the 1995 foreign aid bill, which puts pressure on the PLO to stop violating the accords before it receives U.S. aid. The passage of the bill followed an eight-month long campaign by the ZOA to expose and publicize PLO violations of the Israel-PLO peace accords.
The authors of the Specter-Shelby-Lowey Amendment are Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Sen. Richard Shelby (D-AL), the co-chairs of the ZOA-initiated bipartisan Peace Accord Monitoring (PAM) Group in the U.S. Senate and Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY). The ZOA also initiated the creation of a PAM Group in the House of Representatives. Already, 45 U.S. Senators and Representatives (22 Democrats and 23 Republicans) have joined the PAM Groups. The PAM Groups document and challenge the PLO's violations, through legislation, press conferences, and by directly contacting the President and the State Department. In this way, they work to ensure Congressional oversight of U.S. aid to the PLO.
The ZOA is the only pro-Israel organization actively exposes and condemns the PLO's violations. We make sure that the American public and Congress hear the truth about Yasser Arafat and the PLO.
The ZOA mobilized pro-Israel activists nationwide to protest the U.N. vote branding Jerusalem "occupied territory." The ZOA's efforts helped result in an 83-0 Senate vote in favor of a resolution condemning the U.N. position. The ZOA has launched a campaign to explain to the American public and Congress why Jerusalem must remain the undivided sovereign capital of Israel.
The ZOA Has Persuaded the Publishers of Leading Travel Guides and Textbooks to Correct Their Anti-Israel Bias.
The ZOA plays a leading role in the nationwide battle against anti-Israel bias. The ZOA's media-monitoring division documents and exposes the media's anti-Israel distortions. ZOA President Morton Klein has led successful campaigns that convinced the publishers of the world's oldest and largest travel guides, Baedeker's, and D.C. Heath, the publishers of the most widely used American college history textbook, The Enduring Vision, to correct dozens of anti-Israel errors that appeared in their editions.
The ZOA Serves as a Watchdog Over U.S. Government Appointments Affecting Israel.
The ZOA led the campaign against Strobe Talbott, the nominee for Deputy Secretary of State, by exposing his anti-Israel writings. In response to the ZOA's effort, Talbott publicly recanted his anti-Israel views - an important affirmation that malice toward Israel is unacceptable in mainstream American politics. As a result of ZOA's campaign, more than three times as many Senators as expected voted against the Talbott nomination. Both Dr. Henry Kissinger (on the Larry King radio show) and the journal New Republic have recently pointed out that it is now unlikely that Talbott will be nominated to Secretary of State, because of the large opposition to his nomination as deputy secretary.
educates the Congress and the American public about the dangers of trying to appease Arab dictators.
explains the risks that Israel will face if a PLO state is established.
articulates the legitimate claims of the Jewish people, based on religion, history, and international law.
combats the Israel-bashers in the newspapers, on television, and on radio.
sends more Jewish students to Israel each summer, via its youth division Masada, than any other Jewish organization.
mobilizes pro-Israel activists around the the country to protest when Israel is in danger.
From coast to coast, the ZOA is attracting attention and winning praise. Feature articles about ZOA's activism have appeared in the Jerusalem Post, the New York Jewish Week, the Washington Jewish Week, the Los Angeles Jewish Journal, the Jerusalem Report, and elsewhere. The Israeli daily Ma'ariv recently described the ZOA as "the most important organization in the American Jewish community."

Sun.Star Cebu's Facebook page scrapes bottom with Kim's behind
Do newsrooms still have publication standards apart from engagement? Apparently not the Sun.Star Cebu Facebook page, judging by its recent posts. There is a noticeable shift by the page to the prurient.
Churnalism, bad reporting pull scandal out of comment thread
The accusation published by Manila Bulletin that singer Moira dela Torre was paid P5 million to perform at a Leni-Kiko campaign rally is an example of what journalist Nick Davies described in his book Flat Earth News as "churnalism." It is described in the book Breaking News by Alan Rusbridger as "reporters with too little […]
How not to write a news story: Manila Bulletin and "online marites" as source
A recent story by Manila Bulletin illustrates the inanities of traffic whoring by the rewriting-social-media-posts beat. The story amplified a serious accusation – that the artist Moira dela Torre was paid a "whooping" (the amount does trigger a fit of coughing) P5 million for her performance in the Robredo-Pangilinan campaign in Zamboanga City. But throughout […]
Google searches "accurate predictors" of presidential election results, researchers say
Google Trends predicted the winners of the past two presidential elections in the Philippines. Except for former President Donald Trump's loss in 2020, Google Trends predicted the winners of the previous four presidential elections in the United States and the past six in Canada since the company's search data were made available in 2004.
Armchair journalism
Miffed at being criticized over a news coverage, a reporter once juxtaposed his "real journalism" of being out on the field with "armchair journalism." The attempted put-down betrays a dated outlook on journalism, one that's stuck in a different era. It is the journalism romanticized by the 1976 film All The President's Men. For the […]

Gloria Feldt of Planned Parenthood has some advice for the Democratic Party.
I know, I know; that's not news. She's been giving them advice for years, and they've just not noticed that her advice helps them to lose election. But I digress.
Democrats, Feldt says, "need to stop allowing the extreme, anti-choice right wing of the Republican Party to paint them into a corner where all they talk about is abortion."
If you have a few spare moments today-- I know we're all busy-- here's your research assignment:
• Find a campaign speech in which a Republican candidate-- any Republican candidate-- spoke exclusively-- no, make that mainly-- about abortion.
• Find a speech by Gloria Feldt in which she didn't speak mainly-- if not exclusively-- about abortion.

Q: Buttons on main form showing in front of sub-form I created a VB.NET application which has a few forms. There is a main menu which has several buttons on it which, when clicked, open sub-forms.  My problem is that when the sub-forms are opened, those buttons on the main form show in front of the sub-forms.
How can I get those buttons to stay behind the sub-forms?
Take a look:

BRASILIA, Sept 25 (Reuters) - The Brazilian real's slide to near all-time lows has had only limited impact on prices even as core inflation accelerates to "appropriate levels," the central bank said on Tuesday, suggesting it was in no rush to raise interest rates.
The bank last week kept the benchmark Selic interest rate at a record low of 6.50 percent at its last meeting before a pivotal presidential vote next month, but said it could gradually raise it if the inflation outlook worsens.
But the minutes of that meeting, published on Tuesday, seemed to indicate that a rate hike was not imminent in Latin America's largest economy.
"It is possible that the relative price adjustments that occurred recently, in a context of anchored expectations, may have contributed to lifting inflation to levels compatible with official targets, without presenting risks to the maintenance of those levels once those adjustments end," the minutes said.
This suggests that policymakers may be comfortable keeping rates low despite the Brazilian real's slump, which was magnified by concerns that the next president may fail to curb a ballooning fiscal deficit after taking office in January.
The real has lost nearly 20 percent of its value against the U.S. dollar so far this year.
Interest rate future markets are currently pricing in a November hike. However, a central bank survey of economists predicts the first hike only in 2019, in line with recent Reuters polls.
The bank last week explicitely acknowledged the possibility of a future hike, in a striking but somewhat expected change from the noncommittal rhetoric it adopted in recent months.
Inflation has been hovering at around 4.3 percent, below the 4.50 percent midpoint of this year's targeted range, but slightly above the 4.25 percent 2019 midpoint.
Stripped of volatile items such as energy costs and food prices, however, core inflation has remained low due to an underwhelming economic recovery and high unemployment.
The minutes said that uncertainty remained high, forcing policymakers to closely track inflation expectations and measures of currency passthrough.

Everything you can expect from Google's October 15 hardware event: Pixel 4, Pixelbook Go and more
It's time to see the latest in Pixel, Pixelbook, Nest, and more.
Andrew Martonik
Google's annual fall hardware event is nearly upon us — it's all going down on October 15 in New York City. This is nominally the "Pixel 4" event, and Google's new phones will absolutely take center stage. But we're also expecting a new Pixelbook, new Google Home and Nest devices, the next generation of Pixel Buds, and maybe even some extra surprises.
This is everything we can expect to see from Google on October 15.
Pixel 4 + Pixel 4 XL
You don't have to follow the tech news that closely to see that pretty much everything about the Pixel 4 that can leak, has leaked. Hardware details, capabilities, specs, features, camera samples, and more are all available out there, and they paint a pretty complete picture of what we can expect from the Pixel 4 and 4 XL.
Google looks to be keeping with the minimalist design aesthetic of previous Pixels with a sleek metal-and-glass design that's understated and flat on the back. The design will be dominated by a big squircle camera arrangement on the back, and a big screen on the front. The only real design flair comes in the super-bright orange color option.
The Pixel 4 is expected to have a 5.7-inch screen and the 4 XL a 6.3-inch, but in either case you'll get an array of advanced sensors to support touchless hand gestures and advanced face unlock — all tucked in a top bezel, rather than a display notch. And those displays are purportedly running at a 90Hz refresh rate, like the latest OnePlus phones. The specs inside round out ... underwhelmingly, with 6GB of RAM, a base 64GB of storage, and just 2800 or 3700 mAh batteries.
There's little left to leak, but much left to learn about how the new Pixels actually work.
But of course, there's always a bit more to the story than what can leak. There are parts of the experience that simply can't leak because they're things that Google can announce around the phones or we won't know about until we hold them in our hands for ourselves. We don't know how those displays look, how the hardware actually feels, and how well the specs run the latest and greatest Google implementation of Android 10. And we really don't know how those battery capacities will hold up in the real world.
The Pixels will also debut two big features that we've seen attempted before and never really executed well. An array of advanced sensors above the screen will enable secure face unlock (possibly replacing the fingerprint sensor entirely) as well as touchless gesture control of the phone. Face unlock has potential to be an important feature following its popularity on the iPhone, but the gestures will really need time to figure out what the real use cases are and whether they're truly worth using over the touch screen or voice control.
One of the biggest parts of the Pixel experience — and also one of the biggest unknowns — is the cameras. Google is expected to be using effectively the same main camera sensor as the Pixel 3, with tons of software improvements to take another generational leap in quality. It's also pairing it for the first time with a secondary camera — a 16MP telephoto to provide zoom and even more data for computational photography capabilities. We need to see what Google has up its sleeve in the photography department, and then how it all comes together when we get out and shoot with it.
Pixelbook Go
The Pixel Slate was a bit of a disaster, but the Pixelbook Go is shaping up to be really nice.
To say that the Pixel Slate underperformed expectations would be a dramatic understatement. It was ambitious, for sure, and the hardware was really great. But the execution was weak. Google's expected to be back at it with a new Pixelbook variant that's going to be a spiritual successor, if not a proper replacement: the Pixelbook Go.
Rather than a tablet form factor with a detachable keyboard, the Pixelbook Go will be a traditional clamshell laptop. This isn't going to be a replacement for the last-generation Pixelbook either; the Pixelbook Go is expected to be a more affordable mid-range option that slots underneath the high-end Pixelbook. So call it a bit of a combination of strategies between the Pixelbook and the Pixel Slate.
Leaks show a 13.3-inch 4K display, a metal body, and options for a range of processors from an Intel Core M3 up to a Core i7. The body is simple metal but with an interesting no-slip textured bottom and typical Chromebook keyboard and layout. t isn't clear what sort of Chrome OS features, if any, will be announced alongside the new hardware, or if this will just be a relatively small announcement considering its market position. Either way, it's likely to be compared directly to Microsoft's new Surface Pro 7 that was just announced.
Google Home refreshes and Nest rebrands
We're due for refreshes and improvements to many parts of the Google Home lineup, and a big launch event is a perfect time for Google to announce them. The original Google Home is three years old, and the Home Mini and Home Max, though newer, could probably use some sort of improvement.
The Home Mini is incredibly popular, but could use a refresh — and apparently, a new brand.
These smart speakers don't need to be refreshed as often as a phone or laptop, but considering Amazon just did a hardware upgrade of its Echo Dot and standard Echo, while also introducing the new Echo Show 8, Echo Flex and Echo Studio, there's room to make some improvements and keep up with the competition.
The lineup of screen-based Nest products was recently refreshed alongside the addition of the Nest Hub Max, so those seem to be all set for the time being. But we've seen reports of a refreshed Google Home Mini re-launching as the "Nest Mini" with roughly the same size but with a built-in wall mount and 3.5 mm audio jack. Any change to the standard Google Home, even if it's just new colors or an improvement in audio quality, would be a welcomed addition. And at this point, it seems likely Google is going to start using the Nest brand across its Home products — be it refreshes of current product lines or altogether new ones.
If any new Home device is announced, you can expect it to come with some announcement of new Google Assistant functionality as well. Google likes to use these hardware announcements as a launchpad for new Assistant capabilities, even though they're usually going to work the exact same way on all Assistant products.
Nest Wifi with Google Assistant
A fresh design will also bring Google Assistant speaker functionality to these routers.
The current Google Wifi router, like the first Google Home, is also now three years old — and rumor has it that its successor will launch alongside the new Pixels as the "Nest Wifi" system. The move to Nest branding makes sense to fall in line with Google's other home offerings, which as discussed, are likely to also continue to take on Nest branding.
That Google would refresh its mesh Wi-Fi system isn't all that interesting, but the intriguing part is the new Nest Wifi is expected to also pull double duty as a pseudo-Google Home speaker. There's supposed to be a new design that further encourages you to keep the units out in the open where they can hear and be heard, and because it's a mesh system, you'll be able to buy them in a multi-pack and spread them around the house for both improved Wi-Fi and Assistant functionality.
It's easy to have forgotten about Google's Pixel Buds headphones, which launched in 2017 and never really caught on given their high price and questionable functionality as live translation devices. They were, perhaps, a little ahead of their time in terms of funcitonality ... and at the same time behind the curve in a world of truly wireless earbuds.
Rumors point to a refreshed Pixel Buds 2 launch alongside the rest of Google's hardware, though details are sparse. We don't know if they'll still be connected by a cord, or if they'll go truly wireless; nor do we have any idea what the latest tentpole feature will be for them. Honestly the best thing Google could do to make the Pixel Buds 2 popular is make them relatively affordable and just make them great headphones — skipping the extra features that are only going to appeal to a small number of people. But that's also not very likely given how ambitious Google has been with the original Pixel Buds and its other accessories.
It all goes down on October 15
We'll be on hand at Google's event in New York City on October 15, where the show kicks off at 10 a.m. ET. You can watch the livestream of the event at the YouTube link above, and then keep up with a mountain of coverage coming from us here on Android Central — you can count on seeing all of the above, and maybe even a few surprises. We're excited to see it all!

Nuevo día
Illustrated by Luis Guadarrama, Ana López Escrivá, Víctor Moreno, Alma Rosa Pacheco, Guadalupe Pacheco, María Griselda Pacheco
Series: Cielo abierto Poetry Collection
This ample collection of poetry, with 96 pages, lively illustrated, with poems from the most important poets of the Spanish speaking world including poetry by Rafael Alberti, Elsa Isabel Brnemann, Jaime Ferrán, Ester Feliciano Mendoza, Isabel Freire de Matos, Ernesto Galarza, Antonio Granados, Nicolás Guillén, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Gabriela Mistral, Carlos Murciano, Marina Romero, Alfonsina Storni, María Elena Walsh. Among the selections from the folklore there are four versions of the tradicional Romance de don Gato. It also includes original poems by F. Isabel Campoy as Todas las familias del mundo, La voz del verano and Si un día tuviera… and original poems by Alma Flor Ada among others Mar, Querer, and Diego Velázquez.
Poetry is one of the best gifts we can give children. A poem a day enhances a child's life with the sounds of words, with rhyme and rhythm, with the enchantment of images and metaphors, with the invitation to see reality with new eyes.
Our culture is very rich in outstanding poets and excellent poetry. Some poets write primarily for children, but even our most recognized poets have at some time or other written poetry that children can enjoy.
The Cielo abierto Poetry Collection is composed of seven poetry anthologies. These rich anthologies include selections from the folklore along with the work of the best Spanish-speaking poets from the United States, Latin America and Spain. Each of the selections has been carefully chosen to awaken children's love of poetry and to deepen their appreciation for the musicality and richness of the Spanish language. Original poems by Alma Flor Ada and Isabel Campoy are also included.
It is impossible to assign a specific age to poetry, since the same poem can be enjoyed by children of different ages at different moments. Yet, there is a certain progression of language and reading difficulty in the series reflected in the order in which the titles are listed.
Grade levels have been mentioned next to the titles as an orientation, but should not be seen restrictively.
The titles are:
Gorrión, gorrión [PreK-2] 64 pages

Trump Place at 120 Riverside Boulevard
When Donald J. Trump eventually abandoned his plan to erect the world s tallest building on his sprawling Riverside South/Television City project on former railroad property between 59th and 72nd Streets along the Hudson River, who would have thought he would ever erect a mid-rise building?
This handsome, 46-story condominium apartment tower was completed in 1999 as one of the major buildings in Donald Trump's enormous redevelopment, known as Trump Place, of the former rail yards at the south end of Riverside Park. Designed by Philip Johnson, it has 377 apartments. The tower rises at the north end of its large base. The slightly taller tower just to the north, 220 Riverside Boulevard, an orange-brick tower with a circular top that was designed by Costas Kondylis and erected in 2003, has its tower rising from the south end of its large base. The asymmetrical positioning of the towers on their bases creates an interesting skyline modulation as most of the bases of the buildings are about the same height.

A study showed that 100mg/kg creatine monohydrate daily over four months supplemented by boys with DMD is able to enhance handgrip strength in the dominant hand only (less than 10% increase) and increase whole-body lean mass. While the trend toward whole body strength reduction seen in placebo was ablated and there was no interaction with corticosteroids,[560] this study failed to find an influence on activities of daily living or lung function.[560] Elsewhere in children not on corticosteroids with DMD, supplementation of 5g creatine for eight weeks was confirmed to increase muscular phosphocreatine content[554] and according to a manual muscle test (MMT) there was a significant improvement in muscular function relative to placebo, with more parents reporting benefit with creatine (53.8%) relative to placebo (14%).[554]

This move can help lean abs really pop, especially once you've lost any extra belly fat. Sit on the floor, knees bent and heels down. Lean back, keep your back straight, and tense your abs. Place the kettlebell on the floor, switching from one side to the other. For faster results, hold your feet off the floor, but only if you can still use good form.
The main storage area of creatine in the human body is the skeletal (contractile) muscle, which holds true for other animals. Therefore, consumption of skeletal muscle (meat products) is the main human dietary source of creatine. Since vegetarians and vegans lack the main source of dietary creatine intake, which has been estimated to supply half of the daily requirements of creatine in normal people, both vegetarians and vegans have been reported to have lower levels of creatine.[58][59] This also applies to other meat-exclusive nutrients, such as L-Carnitine.[58]
Arguably the most influential factor, exercise is what instigates muscle growth. When you exercise, especially if you engage in resistance training, it causes trauma to your muscles. This is exactly what you want because it's this trauma that triggers a response from your body that grows your muscles. To repair the injury or damage to your muscles, special cells called satellite cells arrive. Typically, your muscle fibers thicken and lengthen in this process. (1)

Creatine supplementation has been noted to improve general wellbeing and health status (assessed by St George's Respiratory questionnaire[582]) of people with COPD over two weeks loading (17.1g daily with carbohydrates) and ten weeks of 5.7g maintenance.[579] The studies that failed to find improvements with creatine supplementation on muscular performance also failed to find improvements in this rating scale, relative to placebo.[580][581]

The utility of HMB does seem to be affected by timing of intake prior to workouts and dosage [97].
Naturo Nitro Creatine Chrome is an interesting choice for bulking. During the bulking process, many athletes lament losing muscle definition and feeling bloated. The magnesium creatine chelate in Naturo Nitro may help to counteract that effect as there's some evidence that it could potentially improve performance without adding water weight. If you want to bulk but you want to keep definition, this may be worth considering.
Dumbbells: These are more expensive, though there are plenty of affordable options. You'll eventually want to get a variety of weights, but you can easily start with three sets of dumbbells: A light set (3 to 5 pounds for women, 5 to 8 pounds for men), a medium set (5 to 10 pounds for women, 10 to 15 pounds for men), and a heavy set (10 to 20 pounds for women, 15 to 30 pounds for men).
When lifting to complete fatigue, it takes an average of two to five minutes for your muscles to rest for the next set. When using lighter weight and more repetitions, it takes between 30 seconds and a minute for your muscles to rest. For beginners, working to fatigue isn't necessary, and starting out too strong can lead to too much post-exercise soreness.
The exercises that allow you to use the greatest amount of weight are the ones that help you build muscle the fastest. These also happen to be the lifts that allow for the greatest percentage of increases in loading. We're talking compound (multi-joint) exercises here, done with free weights. You're not going to grow at nearly the same rate with a workout comprising machine exercises and isolation movements.
One case study on a subject with a methylentetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677TT homozygote, a relatively common genetic mutation known as "mild MTHFR deficiency," which causes mild homocysteinemia,[310] has seen benefits due to creatine supplementation where homocysteine was approximately halved (49% reduction) while CT heterozygotes and CC homozygotes (n=9) were unaffected.[311] Additionally, one rat study suggested a possible role for creatine in reducing homocysteine levels in a model of high uric acid levels (model for end stage renal disease[312]) but this was not replicated when investigated in humans.[313]
If you're a beginner, you should train with three full-body workouts per week. In each one, do a compound pushing movement (like a bench press), a compound pulling movement (like a chinup), and a compound lower-body exercise (squat, trap-bar deadlift, for example). If you want to add in 1–2 other exercises like loaded carries or kettlebell swings as a finisher, that's fine, but three exercises is enough to work the whole body.
The genealogy of lifting can be traced back to the beginning of recorded history[1] where humanity's fascination with physical abilities can be found among numerous ancient writings. In many prehistoric tribes, they would have a big rock they would try to lift, and the first one to lift it would inscribe their name into the stone. Such rocks have been found in Greek and Scottish castles.[2] Progressive resistance training dates back at least to Ancient Greece, when legend has it that wrestler Milo of Croton trained by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until it was fully grown. Another Greek, the physician Galen, described strength training exercises using the halteres (an early form of dumbbell) in the 2nd century.
Pro Tip: Zane also suggests that directed concentration is exceptionally important to getting the most from your training and is much easier with lower weight. If you can concentrate on the muscle through its whole movement, you will notice that the intensity will be just as strong, without the risk. We teach you this in our "Mind Muscle Connection" Bonus Guide that we include in our Old School Muscle 8-Week Program.
Most of us have lives, or jobs, or school, or family, or whatever else that puts some kind of limit on when and how often we can work out. For example, are there certain days that you are able to work out on, and certain days you aren't? Are you able to train 5 days per week, or would 3-4 be more ideal? Choosing a split that suits your personal schedule and is as convenient for you as possible will be crucial for adherence, and without adherence, nothing is going to work.
One supplement, which a large body of research has proven effective in building muscle mass when combined with intensive strength training, is creatine (sold as creatine monohydrate). Creatine, a source of rapid energy, is stored in the muscles in small amounts. With creatine loading or supplementation, bodybuilders increase muscle stores of the energy-containing compound which then can be used to provide an extra boost for an intense-high-weight lifting session. Studies support that ingestion of a relatively high dose of creatine (20 to 30 grams per day for up to two weeks) increases muscle creatine stores by 10 to 30 percent and can boost muscle strength by about 10 percent when compared with resistance training alone (Rawson & Volek, 2003). Some athletes report (though research does not necessarily support) muscle cramping in response after using creatine supplements.
Weight gain might be the most common side effect. "Creatine can cause your body to hold on to water by pulling fluid into your cells via osmosis," says Bates. "It doesn't necessarily cause you to gain weight as fat, but it can increase edema, or water weight." Also, muscle is denser than fat, so in some cases building muscle can increase body weight overall (even if you're simultaneously burning fat).
When you're planning your high-protein meals, 20 grams of protein is the optimal amount generally accepted for muscle growth. Research has found that the body doesn't use much more than 20 grams for muscle-building at any one sitting. Around 80 grams of protein per day (or, four meals containing 20-grams of protein each) is about right for most people.
A good way to determine how much fat in grams you should be taking in is to multiply your calorie intake by 0.001 for maximum trans-fats; by 0.008 for maximum saturated fats; and by 0.03 for the "good fats". For example, for a 2,500-calorie diet, you would limit trans-fats to 3g or less, saturated fats to 20g or less, and up to 75g of mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
This is another thing I am very tired of hearing. 'No matter what I do or what I eat, I can't gain weight'. I have heard this countless times and I am here to tell you that you are dead wrong. That's OK, because I actually said the same thing until I realized the truth. Most people think they are eating a lot and you just may be. But no matter what you are eating, if you are not gaining, you are not eating enough. Most times, you should re-evaluate your diet as well and focus on more calorie dense foods. But you need to eat more if you are not gaining.
Eating the right carbs is important too. Carbohydrate is stored in your body in the form of glycogen. Glycogen in the muscles is an important fuel reserve during intense physical exercise or in times of energy restriction – protein sparing. It is best to restrict or to keep away from junk carbohydrates such as sweets, cakes, and biscuits, and stick to foods like porridge, pasta (wholemeal), rice (brown), bread (wholegrain), and cereals (try to choose the versions with low or reduced sugar and salt). For more on carbohydrate and the effect of sugar on the body, click here.
It is equally important, if not more so, to ensure that you supply your body with more protein than it is breaking down each day. Your body uses protein for many things daily, and when you are working out, your body may start to break down proteins to provide extra energy. But your body also requires proteins to create new muscle cells and repair damaged ones. Many bodybuilding supplements contain large amounts of protein to ensure that your body has plenty for all required processes. Jump to Our 10 Best Bodybuilding Supplement List


I am confused by the schemes available for deposits. I have a new tenant who moved in 12.4.07 and has given me a deposit. I would like to use the free scheme, custodial scheme I think it is called, but cannot find on your site where to send the deposit. There is a website link for computershare or something, but their site does not give any info about the deposit scheme. Also, do you have any forms yet to give to tenants to inform them where their deposit is going?

Tongoy es un balneario costero chileno de la Región de Coquimbo, perteneciente a la comuna de Coquimbo y ubicado a 42 kilómetros al sur de la ciudad de La Serena, cerca del balneario de Guanaqueros. Se encuentra ubicado en un promontorio de roca en forma de península frente al océano Pacífico, y es conocido por la tranquilidad y temperatura de sus playas Socos (4 km) y Grande (14 km), así como por su oferta gastronómica, basada en el ostión del Norte y otros productos marinos.

Emplazamiento y geografía

Tongoy se encuentra ubicado unos 430 kilómetros al norte de Santiago y 42 kilómetros al sur de La Serena, la capital de la Región de Coquimbo.

La zona de Tongoy comprende, en términos generales, la zona costera ubicada al sur del puerto de Coquimbo, específicamente desde el sector de Morrillos, hasta la Punta Lengua de Vaca, península ubicada al sur de la Bahía de Tongoy. Esta zona se caracteriza por un clima semidesértico, horadado por quebradas y antiguos cursos de aguas orientados en dirección este-oeste. El promontorio donde está ubicado el puerto de Tongoy corresponde a una zona rocosa que alcanza los 60 m de altura y posee una superficie de 0,86 km².

La amplia Bahía de Tongoy que se ubica entre Punta Lengua de Vaca y la península de Tongoy y cuenta con una superficie de 62 km², correspondiendo así a la segunda bahía de mayor tamaño en la costa regular de Chile, después de la gran Bahía de Arauco en la Región del Biobío.

Ya en 1897, Francisco Solano de Asta-Buruaga y Cienfuegos describía el emplazamiento de Tongoy y su geografía de la siguiente manera:

Geografía e hidrografía
Tongoy se encuentra ubicado en un promontorio de roca de aproximadamente 60 metros de alto, conocido como «La Isla» por los locales o «Cerro La Virgen» por el mirador que existe en la cima y que recuerda a la madre de Jesús. Desde este mirador se puede apreciar toda la bahía de Tongoy, así como el cerro Guanaqueros, de aproximadamente 495 metros y que corresponde a la cima más alta de la zona.

La zona de Tongoy se caracteriza también por poseer varias quebradas, humedales y cursos de aguas orientados en dirección este-oeste. El más representativo es el llamado estero Tongoy, que desemboca directamente en la playa Socos, mientras que las quebradas de Camarones y Los Almendros mueren antes de llegar al mar; las quebradas de Los Litres y la quebrada Pachingo forman pequeñas lagunas costeras que no se unen al mar dando paso a humedales, conocidos como Humedales de Tongoy, y que son reconocidos por albergar más de 130 especies de aves y ser un importante espacio de conservación de la fauna local.

Las playas de Tongoy son también reconocidas por los turistas y locales; las que más destacan son la Playa Grande, ubicada en la bahía de Tongoy, y la pequeña Playa Socos, que une Tongoy con el condominio Puerto Velero y que concentra la mayor parte de la actividad turística estival.

En la cabeza sur de la Playa Grande se encuentra la localidad de Puerto Aldea, una antigua base de la Armada de Chile, donde recalaban los buques de la escuadra. En la actualidad y durante la primavera se realizan los ejercicios navales UNITAS, con los Estados Unidos de América. En 2002, en los recintos navales se llevó a cabo la destrucción de las unidades de minas que poseía el Ejército y la Armada, en aplicación del Tratado de Ottawa.

Historia

Primeras ocupaciones

El nivel costero estaba 100 metros más abajo, producto de la última glaciación, así que en el Holoceno la Geografía era bastante distinta que en el presente.
Los primeros habitantes permanentes de la zona de Tongoy fueron de la Cultura El Molle. Después siguieron los de la Cultura Aconcagua y los diaguitas y los changos. Los primeros crearon y emplearon durante largos años métodos propios y exclusivos para explotar la riqueza cuprífera y agrícola del sector, y los segundos se dedicaban a labores pesqueras en balsas de cuero de lobos marinos.

En esta región aún se encuentran múltiples yacimientos arqueológicos, en particular la zona de Puerto Aldea, en donde es habitual encontrar restos de alfarería, piedras talladas o puntas de flechas.

Conquista española

Después de la fundación de la ciudad de La Serena, se tienen noticias de alzamientos de los indígenas del sector. Vivían en el sector que atraviesa el estero que desemboca en la Playa Socos, al igual que en los humedales ubicados en el sector de Pachingo. Hasta mediados de la década del 1970 era posible encontrar puntas de flecha y otros restos de alfarería indígena; especialmente en las dunas donde actualmente se encuentra Puerto Velero, como también en las contiguas a Playa Grande, en dirección a Puerto Aldea.

Se sabe que durante la época colonial estos terrenos pertenecían a la familia de Aguirre y sus vinculaciones terratenientes de la zona en esta época la Bahía de Tongoy fue lugar de acogida para centenares de pequeños pescadores, corsarios y balleneros, quienes fondeaban en este lugar antes o después de su paso por el puerto de Coquimbo. Al respecto, se menciona a Tongoy en algunas crónicas como:

 Escenario de un combate entre milicias y vecinos de La Serena, contra un grupo de bucaneros desembarcados para asolar la región en 1686. (ver Desembarco del pirata William Knight en Tongoy, relato de Francisco de Aguirre y Rivero en 1686)

Periodo republicano
A mediados del  Tongoy adquirió un importancia mayor en la región como puerto minero. Se sabe que en 1835 el capitán de la armada británica Robert Fitz Roy, al mando del HMS Beagle donde viajaba Charles Darwin, levantó un completo plano de la bahía. Si bien Darwin realizó una detallada descripción de las minas del interior de la zona, este no describió el poblado de Tongoy en sus crónicas.

En 1839 Tongoy fue habilitado oficialmente como puerto, lo que marcará un periodo de alto crecimiento y desarrollo económico gracias al apogeo de la mina de cobre de Tamaya, ubicada en las cercanías del poblado, en la Cordillera de la Costa y antes del Valle del Limarí. El pueblo creció así como fundición y puerto de embarques de cobre, contando además a partir con un ferrocarril y un puerto propio.

Oficialmente, Tongoy fue creado el 15 de junio de 1859 por decreto presidencial, aunque su aniversario sigue celebrándose el 21 de noviembre, haciendo referencia a la inauguración del puerto de Tongoy en 1839. Primeramente, Tongoy fue un distrito perteneciente al departamento de Ovalle y alcanzó el rango de comuna en 1891, categoría que mantuvo casi hasta la década de 1930; la decadencia de la minería del cobre y la clausura del ferrocarril que transportaba mineral desde el Tamaya hasta el puerto significó su caída económica y luego administrativa, siendo re-anexada a la comuna de Ovalle en 1931 y luego a la ciudad-puerto de Coquimbo en 1976, como parte de la reforma a la organización territorial de Chile que se realizó durante el gobierno militar.

Desde mediados del , y debido a su ubicación en una zona de explotación pesquera, el pueblo sufrió los altibajos de dicha actividad hasta que sus playas atrajeron más y más turistas, con lo que se desarrolló un nuevo sector de la economía local. Desde finales del  una actividad económica creciente es el cultivo y explotación de mariscos, especialmente el ostión, el cual ha diversificado el desarrollo de la zona.

Declarado puerto habilitado
El 21 de noviembre de 1839, por decreto del presidente de Chile José Joaquín Prieto Vial, se le concedió a Tongoy la calidad de puerto habilitado para el comercio.

Al año siguiente, en 1840, ya se inician los embarques regulares de cobre y otros minerales desde la caleta, provenientes de Combarbalá y del Valle del Limarí.

La actividad portuaria de la zona aumentó considerablemente a partir de la década de 1850 cuando José Tomás Urmeneta, un acaudalado industrial y político chileno que había emprendido, entre muchas otras actividades económicas, la explotación de diferentes minas en el Tamaya desde los años 1830, instalara una fundición de cobre en el poblado; el ingeniero Enrique Barnes (que le dio su nombre a la bahía de la Playa Socos) estuvo a cargo de la construcción de esa fundición, la que llegó a procesar más de 1500 toneladas de mineral en la época de su máximo apogeo, hacia 1875.

Primer ferrocarril y consolidación del puerto minero

El mineral extraído de Cerrillos-Tamaya tenía la característica de ser de alta ley (gran concentración) por sobre el 18%. Aparte de lo anterior, era muy frecuente la aparición de cobre nativo, es decir, que se encuentra en estado metálico natural; ambos factores permiten llevarlo directamente a fundir sin pasar por el proceso de concentración. A modo de ejemplo, los minerales de cobre explotados en la actualidad rara vez pasan de una concentración del 1,5%.

Otro aporte indirecto de la actividad minera consistió en la llegada de cantidades significativa de pino oregón, como lastre de los barcos en el trayecto de venida, que se usó en, y caracteriza, la construcción y arquitectura de la zona de antes de los años 30 del siglo pasado.

Auge y declive de la industria portuaria
Para la década de 1890, cuando Tongoy fue declarado oficialmente una comuna por decreto presidencial, el poblado contaba con un alto nivel de desarrollo. Existía en este una escuela pública para niños y otra escuela para niñas; una oficina del registro civil y de correos; aduana, una capilla católica (existente hasta el día de hoy); y una serie de servicios como restoranes, locales comerciales y hosterías. En 1887, el ingeniero Eugenio Château realizó un informe sobre la zona, describiendo a Tongoy de esta manera:

Para fines del , sin embargo, la situación económica y social de Tongoy comenzó a cambiar. Ya a partir de 1875 se vivió una importante baja en los precios del cobre, debido a la emergencia de nuevos productores en otras regiones del mundo. A nivel local y en la misma época, la producción de las minas del Tamaya empezó a disminuir y se auguraba que tendrían, con suerte, para cinco o diez años más de funcionamiento. Al mismo tiempo, la migración de trabajadores mineros hacia el norte del país y las malas condiciones climáticas que se vivieron en los inviernos de 1887 y de 1888 hicieron que muchas minas se cerraran y que la producción general de la zona empezara lentamente a decaer.

Esto tuvo una repercusión inmediata en el trabajo de la fundición de Tongoy y en el uso del ferrocarril que conectaba el poblado hacia el interior, cuya frecuencia empezó también a disminuir. En 1891, en plena Guerra Civil, partidarios del derrocado presidente José Manuel Balmaceda habrían desarmado varias líneas férreas para detener a los rebeldes, afectando entre otros al ferrocarril Tamaya-Tongoy y dificultando aún más su marcha.

En 1912 el ferrocarril Tamaya-Tongoy dejó de funcionar definitivamente, aunque hay registros de que este habría continuado haciendo algunos viajes hasta 1919; e hecho habría marcado el comienzo del declive de la economía y desarrollo social de Tongoy.

Terremoto y tsunami de 1922

El 10 de noviembre de 1922, a las 22:30 hora local (2:30 del día 11 UTC), un fuerte terremoto tuvo lugar en Vallenar, en el actual Región de Atacama. Este sismo, que se conoce hoy como el terremoto de Vallenar de 1922, tuvo una magnitud de 8,5 en la escala sismológica de magnitud de momento. Se sintió entre las provincias de Antogafasta y Santiago. El terremoto dejó un saldo de 800 muertos. En Vallenar se produjeron grietas de hasta un metro de profundidad. Hubo aproximadamente 500 víctimas en Copiapó. El terremoto también provocó un tsunami que afectó a varias localidades costeras del Norte Chico.

En Caldera, por ejemplo, el tsunami se inició unos 15 minutos después del terremoto, con un máximo de ejecución hasta la altura de 7 m. En Chañaral el tsunami tuvo tres oleadas, la primera alrededor de una hora después del terremoto, el máximo previo fue de 9 m de altura. Tres aumentos se observaron también en Coquimbo, siendo el último tren de olas el más destructivo, con un máximo de ejecución de 7 m. El tsunami también se observó en Callao, Perú (2,4 m), California (0,2 m 13,0 horas de retraso), Hawái (2,1 m 14,5 horas), Samoa (0,9 m 14,1 horas), Japón (0,3 m ), Taiwán (0,03 m), Nueva Zelanda (0,1 m), Australia (0,2 m) y el Filipinas (0,1 m).

En la ciudad de Coquimbo el daño también fue importante, ya que el mar entró seis veces al pueblo, llevándose veinticuatro víctimas consigo, la mayoría perteneciente a la población La Victoria. Se destruyeron el muelle, el malecón, las bodegas y edificios de The Coquimbo Co, parte de la Aduana y algunos vagones y oficina de ferrocarriles.

En Tongoy el tsunami fue particularmente fuerte, provocando además numerosas víctimas, ya que muchos de ellos dormían. El poblado de Los Vilos, también en la actual Región de Coquimbo, también sufrió el embate del mar.

El declive económico de principios del  hizo que Tongoy perdiera su estatuto de comuna y volviera a depender administrativamente de la ciudad de Ovalle, a partir de 1929. Desde ese entonces, el poblado se transformó lentamente en una zona preferida por los ovallinos, como Marcelo Bachelet (alcalde de Ovalle y tío abuelo de la Presidenta Michelle Bachelet) Roberto John Barnes, Guillermo Blanc, Enrique y Horacio Álvarez, Hugo Artigues, Ricardo, Antonio y Máximo Corral, Pedro Enrique Alfonso, entre otros; ellos fortalecieron la reurbanización de Tongoy como balneario, adquiriendo terrenos y edificando casas de veraneo en la zona.

En los años 1970, posterior a la creación del refugio estival de Carabineros de Chile, varios oficiales comenzaron a comprar nuevos terrenos en «La Isla», la parte más alta del poblado, y a urbanizarlos para construir allí sus casas de veraneo, lo que generó un nuevo desarrollo en la zona. En esa misma fecha, y por la intervención de un Intendente de la época, se asfaltó el camino entre la Carretera Panamericana (Ruta 5 Panamericana) y el pueblo, y se mejoró el puente de acceso.

El hijo ilustre más importante del pueblo fue el poeta Víctor Domingo Silva, llamado "el poeta nacional", cuya casa, en la cual nació y vivió, se encuentra todavía en pie, frente a la Casa de la Cultura del pueblo. En el sector más alto de la península se extiende un gran parque público con su nombre. Desde este lugar se puede apreciar una muy buena vista de la bahía y de los alrededores.

Demografía

Según el censo del año 2002, Tongoy tiene una población de 4435 personas (2232 hombres y 2203 mujeres). Sus 1777 viviendas se esparcen en 2,17 km². El pueblo se divide en dos partes: «La península» (zona de casas veraniegas, llamada popularmente como «La Isla» o «El Cerro») y el «Pueblo bajo», donde vive la mayoría de sus habitantes permanentes.

Según estimaciones de la delegación municipal, en época estival la población de Tongoy puede crecer hasta en 60 %, alcanzando los 8000 habitantes en los meses de diciembre, enero y febrero.

Administración
El 22 de diciembre de 1891, el presidente Jorge Montt en uso de las facultades conferidas por la Ley de Comuna Autónoma creó, por medio del Decreto de creación de municipios, la comuna de Tongoy.

Posteriormente, en el año 1931, la comuna fue suprimida y su territorio fue re-incorporado a la comuna de Ovalle. Finalmente, producto del proceso de regionalización de finales de los años 1970, Tongoy pasa a integrar la provincia de Elqui, como parte de la comuna de Coquimbo.

Tongoy: comuna independiente
En la actualidad la localidad sigue perteneciendo a la comuna de Coquimbo, y es administrada bajo la forma de una delegación municipal, aunque las aspiraciones de crecimiento e independencia siguen presentes en la población.

En enero de 2006, y pocos días después que la entonces subsecretaria de Desarrollo Regional, Adriana Delpiano, señalara que «no veía con malos ojos a Tongoy como comuna», el gobierno del presidente Ricardo Lagos anunció el envío de un proyecto de ley que crearía la comuna de Tongoy, con el fin de darle autonomía y separarla administrativamente de la comuna de Coquimbo. A pesar del anuncio, la idea no prosperó, principalmente por la oposición de la Municipalidad de Coquimbo. En 2014, la agrupación ciudadana Borde Costero Sur comenzó a organizarse para exigir que se re-evaluara el proyecto; en junio de ese año, y junto con otras organizaciones locales, lanzó una consulta que tuvo como resultado 1868 votos a favor de que Tongoy sea comuna y solo 40 en contra.

El 16 de septiembre de 2015 un nuevo terremoto y maremoto afectó duramente la zona de Tongoy. El terremoto, conocido como terremoto de Canela, tuvo una magnitud de 8,4 en la escala sismológica de magnitud de momento. El movimiento telúrico provocó un tsunami que destruyó parte importante del centro de Tongoy y la playa Socos. En su visita a terreno, la Presidenta Bachelet tuvo que hacer frente a las críticas de los vecinos, quienes exigieron nuevamente la re-designación de Tongoy como comuna independiente. El Gobierno prometió que se estudiaría el caso.

Finalmente, en 2017, el Concejo Municipal de Coquimbo rechazó la propuesta hecha por la Subsecretaría de Desarrollo Regional, por considerar que esta carecía de antecedentes y sustento técnico para tomar una decisión coherente con el desarrollo de los habitantes de las localidades involucradas.

Ecología
El sector tiene pocos cursos de aguas y se encuentra ubicado en una zona semidesértica. Estas condiciones no obstan para la existencia al sur de la Playa Grande, de varios humedales, ricos en fauna y flora. Estos mantos acuíferos se encuentran protegidos por la Convención de Ramsar y son la principal riqueza ecológica de la zona. Un estudio de la Universidad de La Serena informó que en cuanto a la flora, existe cerca de 63 especies, de las cuales 17 son nativas y 19 endémicas de la zona. En cuanto a la fauna, en dicho estudio fueron detectadas 173 especies, siendo 15 de ellas endémicas (8 nativas y 5 introducidas), encontrándose las siguientes:
 2 de anfibios,
 10 de reptiles (el 100% de ellas consideradas endémicas),
 145 de aves, y
 16 de mamíferos.

Respecto al estado de conservación el estudio informó que cuatro especies aparecen en peligro de extinción, once en estado vulnerable, una en la categoría rara, dos inadecuadamente conocida, cinco no definidas y cinco consideradas dañinas. Su valor más importante está determinado por ser una zona de migración de diferentes especies, en especial de chorlos y playeros. En la primavera austral, dependiendo de diversos factores ecológicos, en la región puede observarse el fenómeno del desierto florido, en particular en la zona costera de Playa Grande.

Economía

Tongoy y sus alrededores tienen una variada actividad económica que se centran en dos principales áreas: el turismo y el cultivo de ostión del Norte.

Turismo
Desde mediados del  Tongoy se convirtió en un popular balneario y desde 1955 en adelante se urbanizó la península con bellas casas, parques y canchas de tenis. El correspondiente plano de loteo (proyecto legal de subdivisión de un predio) se originó en Ovalle, comuna a la que entonces pertenecía, considerado un balneario «propio» en la comunidad ovallina. Este impulso se explicó por la existencia de buenas playas y de ser una zona de excelente clima. Tongoy es especialmente concurrido en el verano austral (diciembre, enero y febrero) por habitantes de las ciudades cercanas (La Serena, Coquimbo y Ovalle) y también de la capital, Santiago, distante a unas cuatro horas de viaje por autopista. Otra «colonia» numerosa de veraneantes proviene de la vecina Argentina, especialmente de las provincias de San Juan y Mendoza. Las Fiestas Patrias, Semana Santa y alguna otra efeméride regional también encuentran a Tongoy colmado de visitantes.

En la década de 1970 se construyeron balnearios institucionales para Carabineros de Chile y la Fuerza Aérea de Chile. En la misma época, gracias a la intervención de la Dirección de Obras de la Municipalidad de Coquimbo, se logró mejorar el aspecto de algunas calles mediante el uso de empedrado, de aspecto natural y cálido, en contra de la costumbre de pavimentar con hormigón de cemento. El pueblo cuenta con una variada estructura hotelera, incluyendo a un par de tradicionales hoteles, y una gran cantidad de hosterías establecidas y la posibilidad de hospedarse en casas y habitaciones particulares. La creación del centro turístico de Puerto Velero en la cabecera oeste de la playa Socos durante la década de 1990 trajo consigo otra gran cantidad de turistas, al igual que otras instalaciones de la misma naturaleza.

La gastronomía también compone una parte importante de la economía, especialmente por ser Tongoy el principal centro productor de ostión en Chile. Una cantidad importante de restaurantes se encuentra ubicada en la entrada de la Playa Grande. El equipamiento comercial local —más una típica «feria» dos veces a la semana— provee a los veraneantes de todo lo que necesitan para su estadía. Esta tradicional feria estuvo por años ubicada a lo largo de la playa grande, pero con el correr de los años, debido al crecimiento del pueblo, se trasladó a una de sus principales calles de acceso.

Actividades pesqueras y agrícolas

Pese a que nació como puerto de embarque de minerales, las favorables condiciones naturales de la zona la convirtieron con el tiempo en una caleta pesquera, que sobrevivió el declive de la actividad minera. La actividad nunca tomó características industriales por encontrarse ubicada en las cercanías de un gran puerto como el de Coquimbo, aunque en años recientes los pescadores artesanales de Tongoy y Puerto Aldea han contado con un sustantivo apoyo del estado para el desarrollo de sus labores, tales como la construcción de muelles fiscales de mayor envergadura.

En 1982 se instaló un laboratorio-empresa de biología marina dependiente de la Fundación Chile, con el objeto de comercializar el ostión del Norte y favorecer su cultivo en campos marinos. Este proyecto -que reestructuró la economía local- contó con el apoyo de la asociación de pescadores locales y se instituyó una empresa ad hoc. Esta apuesta económica rindió sus frutos, puesto que la localidad se concentró en el cultivo, producción y exportación del marisco, convirtiéndose con el tiempo en una gran fuente de trabajo. Además otra actividad similar sucedió con la explotación del lenguado (Paralichthys adspersus) y el turbot en pescados.

El sector agroindustrial se concentra en la Hacienda El Tangue (250 habitantes), próxima a la localidad de Puerto Aldea (50 habitantes). En el sector se encuentra un faro, un nuevo muelle para los pescadores artesanales del lugar, y se fabrican excelentes quesos de cabra.

 Entretenimientos electrónicos El Estero, ubicado a pasos de playa Socos, que tiene videojuegos, mesas de taca-taca y salón de Pool y que es frecuentado por la juventud del poblado.

Cultura popular
La banda chilena Chico Trujillo dedicó una canción homónima a Tongoy
 Existe un refrán popular en Chile que dice «entre Tongoy y Los Vilos» para referirse a un lugar donde no hay nada o estar entre dos puntos, indeciso, suponiendo que entre ambas localidades no hay nada al borde de la carretera, lo que a su vez es falso.
 Durante el mes de febrero de cada año, un empresario de la zona llamado Espir Aguad, realiza un gran asado gratuito para todos los habitantes del balneario. La motivación del hombre es desconocida, pero se cree que sería debido a que personas del pueblo rescataron a su hijo desde el mar en 1970.
 El 21 de noviembre de cada año, se celebra el aniversario de Tongoy. Con este motivo se realizan variadas actividades comunitarias y una gran kermés el sábado más cercano.
 Tongoy es también un personaje de El mal de Montano (2002), novela de Enrique Vila-Matas. Surgió en el curso de un viaje del escritor a la región de Tongoy, donde le hablaron del actor franco-chileno Daniel Emilfork, considerado por algunos como «el hombre más feo del mundo». Emilfork tomó el nombre de Tongoy para la ficción de dicho libro, con el que Vila-Matas ha obtenido varios galardones.
 La película B-Happy (2004) de Gonzalo Justiniano y donde actúa Manuela Martelli, fue grabada en Tongoy.

Chesapeake Light Craft History 1991-2011
return to section: About Chesapeake Light Craft
Begun in a basement in Arlington, Virginia, in 1991, Chesapeake Light Craft supplied at first plans for kayaks, and shortly thereafter complete kits. In the 1990's Chesapeake Light Craft designs were featured in a series of widely read books and articles by founder Chris Kulczycki, who helped expand CLC's mission to offer high-performance kayaks that were easy to build. John C. Harris joined the company in 1994 and in 1995 set up CLC's first kit manufacturing facility at our current location on George Ave. in Annapolis, Maryland.
Embracing computer technology in the mid-1990's, CLC's line of boat kits expanded quickly. To meet the exploding demand, in 1997 a custom-built industrial-scale computer numerical controlled cutter was installed at a cost of over $50,000---the first kit company to be so equipped.
In December 1999 John C. Harris purchased the company and Kulczycki moved on to other pursuits. As CEO, Harris embarked on a successful expansion program that included new---and wildly popular---rowing and sailing craft, vastly upgraded instructional materials including videos, a busy boat show schedule in the United States, more boatbuilding classes, and overseas dealerships in Japan, Australia, the UK, and France. In addition, he has pursued alliances with other companies who benefit from CLC's singular expertise in boat kit manufacturing, including WoodenBoat Magazine, the WoodenBoat School, Guillemot Kayaks, Shearwater Boats, and the United States Naval Academy, among others.
Numerous companies utilize our CAD/CAM technology for manufacturing projects. CLC also has a sideline in corporate team-building projects, with a client list that includes the Harvard Business School, Outward Bound Professional, the World Bank, Monument Realty, and other large organizations.
Currently CLC employs around 15 full-time employees at our Annapolis showroom, classroom, office, and factory. In 2009 we installed our third CNC machine, a 10-foot by 20-foot monster.
Chesapeake Light Craft has been the recipient of many business and product awards, including Sea Kayaker's Best Kit Kayak award and Best Northeast Paddleshop. CLC was recognized for Maryland's "More With Less" award and in 2011 the Chamber of Commerce voted CLC Small Business of the Year. CLC has gained recognition for leadership in the world of amateur boatbuilding. Events like Family Boatbuilding showcase our unique ability to communicate the joy of wooden boats to people of all ages and backgrounds. Our annual customer rendezvous, OkoumeFest, draws hundreds of boatbuilders from across the country to share their work and meet fellow boat nuts.

Just kind of a curious question that came to mind while looking at this answer about who gifted Harry the Nimbus 2000 (a fairly expensive broom at the time, I would imagine) which says it was McGonagal who gave it to him (although apparently through the school, while reading more and the linked non-dupe question).
Although I suppose she didn't pay for it herself, it still got me thinking... Compared to other professions in the wizarding world, how well are the professors payed? I cannot recall anything in either the books (which I have not read in some time) or the films, where they ever talk about their salary.
However, the strong indication throughout the book is that he's doing alright for himself. He's accustomed to a pretty high standard of living and his idea of "not a very large salary" may differ a little from yours or mine.
Slughorn took another deep draught from his mug, his eyes moving carefully around the cabin now, looking, Harry knew, for more treasures that he might be able to covert into a plentiful supply of oak-matured mead, crystallised pineapple and velvet smoking jackets.
If you're asking me, I'd say probably enough to put you right in the middle of the middle class.
Real world teachers in Britain apparently earn £22,023 (new qualified) to £32,187. I would imagine Slughorn's salary is right at the top end of this range in the wizarding world (adjusted for PPP and all the rest of it) - probably slightly more.
Another thing to consider is that Hogwarts teachers apparently get full bed and board for all the time they're teaching. What this means is that if you don't have any dependants, a large percentage of your salary is disposable income. Which means that Slughorn's salary probably goes a lot further towards his cushy lifestyle than the salary of a teacher who was married and with kids. So the fact that Slughorn seems to have quite a nice life may be related to how much of his money is his to spend on sweets and comfy chairs. He, also, of course, gets quite a lot of gifts from ex-students.
Salary for professors at Hogwards was never mentioned and the only salary that was, was the salary of Hit-Wizards. Now since Hit-Wizards are sent primarily against criminals (Aurors capture dark wizards not common criminals) they are equivalent of police in our world.
Acording to payscale.com police officer's average yearly salary is US is $48,815 while Professor's average salary is $89,005 making it almost a double of policeman's.
Now a Hit-Wizard trainee has a starting salary of 700 Galleons per month.
Now since 1 Galleon = £5.00 (more or less US$9.75) it would bring his paycheck to $14,625 per month or $175,500 per year. On payscale.com they say Proffesor can earn anywhere from $50K to $158K which would mean that Hogwarts Proffesor are very well paid.
The only salary mentioned in the books, that I remember, is the one that Dumbledore offered to Dobby. It was 10 galleons per week. We could accept this as the "minimal wage" of the Wizard's world.
Another point of reference is the 700 galleons won by Arthur Weasley - that is mentioned as a "grand prize". So that's at least several times more than the average salary in the economy.
Based on that - a teacher will get at least double the minimal wage as a starting salary. So about 80 to 100 galleons per month for fresh start teachers like Lupin, Lockhart or Hagrid is a reasonable assumption. Senior teachers like Snape or McGonnagal would get more - maybe up to 200.
There is nothing canon to that effect, however it is presumably relatively competitive as we see professors able to spend money on luxuries with no apparent worries. Furthermore, they are able to keep recruiting Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers for decades, with a rate of one a year. This suggests that the pay is probably relatively high.
Sorry I can't be more thorough.
