El Carbonero es una canción folklórica de El Salvador considerada por muchos salvadoreños como un segundo himno nacional, ya que relata las costumbres de la época. Esta canción es bastante conocida y es incluso representada en actividades culturales por personas que la bailan vistiendo trajes típicos.

Esta canción popular fue creación de don Pancho Lara (Francisco Antonio Lara Hernández), nacido en 1900 en la hacienda La Presa en Santa Ana, poeta y músico al que se le atribuyen alrededor de 400 composiciones, muchas infantiles y las mas famosas de perfil folclórico y popular.

En síntesis El carbonero trata de un personaje de orígenes humildes que baja de las cumbres cargando carbón de madera que venderá en las calles de pueblos y el mercado.
impresiona la capacidad lírica y el poder de concreción de don Pancho Lara, quien murió el 12 de mayo de 1989 y que fue declarado Hijo Meritísimo de El Salvador un mes después. “El Carbonero” es un legado para El Salvador.

       找人帮忙的时候，一定要找那个真正有能力、能帮到点子上的人。就像我们学语言，每个学习者都像孙悟空一样，在这个特定的圈子里，施展着各种本事折腾过一阵子了，但是总有些难点、顽疾，就像悟空遇到的各类妖怪，打不掉也躲不过，这时候就要请菩萨帮忙了。有经验的老师就是这样的人。When looking for help, always look for someone who is really competent and can help with ideas. Just like our language learning, each learner is like Sun Wukong, who has been struggling with various skills for a while in this particular circle. However, there are always some difficulties and intractable diseases, just like all kinds of demons that The Monkey can't get rid of or avoid. At this time, we need to ask the Bodhisattva for help.  Experienced teachers are such people.

English At Work: 10 Ways to Improve Your English at Work. Tip 3.

Richard Floyd McCoy, arrested six months after the DB Cooper hijacking, displayed striking similarities in his own hijacking, demanding $500,000 and parachutes in a manner reminiscent of Cooper. However, McCoy's escape was short-lived as the FBI found him with cash and parachutes, leading to a 45-year prison sentence. Some believe McCoy and Cooper may be the same person. Sheridan Peterson, a Boeing employee and skilled skydiver, drew suspicion due to a physical resemblance and remained a suspect until his death in 2021. Eric Ulis, an amateur sleuth, was 98% convinced of Peterson's involvement. Another suspect, Robert Rackstraw, an army veteran and helicopter pilot, became a late '70s suspect but never explicitly denied being Cooper. However, Rackstraw's age in 1971 contradicts the reported age of Cooper at the time.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF DB COOPER P2

Ancient Egyptians loved and respected cats, believing they brought good luck.

Some families even dressed their cats in jewelry, and mummified them after death. They would mourn the death of their cat by shaving off their eyebrows, and continue to mourn until their eyebrows grew back.

Inspired by this ancient love for cats, the Shanghai Museum in China held a special event called Meowseum Nights.

Held 10 times during last summer and fall, the event invited 200 cats and 2,000 people to explore the exhibition On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt.

Some of the artifacts shown in the exhibition came from a temple discovered years ago in Egypt. The temple was for Bastet, an Egyptian goddess who could change into a cat. This gave the Shanghai Museum another reason to use cats as the theme for their event.

Museum director Chu Xiaobo said that the event was created to bring cat lovers to the museum, as in Shanghai, where there are over a million pet cats, cat-friendly public spaces are rare.

"There are dog parks, dog brunches, but not that much for cat parents to do with their pets," Wen Liuli, a visitor to the exhibition, told The Art Newspaper.

The museum took measures to keep all visitors and artifacts safe. Cats had to stay in strollers or bags, but there were certain areas where people could take their cats out for photos, such as in front of a statue of Bastet. All the other artifacts were kept behind glass.

The museum also had vets, doctors, and even an ambulance on-site, and over 80 animal welfare workers attended each night to help and give advice.

While the museum doesn't plan to hold another Meowseum Night, Chu hopes it might inspire other museums to try similar ideas.

"Cat people now have a special affection for the Shanghai Museum," he said.
