Perhaps you should go to the Archivo Histórico del Magdalena snd Notaría Primera de Aracataca and do some primary source research before fully accepting the hypothesis of these secondary sources.

good news! I found some tequila and drank that instead

So I've been wondering about something. Can someone with more knowledge of Arabic tell me: is the text on the ISIL flag supposed to look so...crude? Like, do they think calligraphy is satanic or something? I mean I wouldn't be surprised, they seem to think other time-honored Islamic traditions are evil. Or is it an overly faithful representation of an improvised flag from when they were still getting started as an insurgency? I mean look at the Saudi flag, it says the same thing but it looks a lot nicer.

It's an exact replica of a specific impression of the (purported) seal of Muhammad. The sacred significance of the seal is tied up with the idea of the caliphate.

On 6 September, the Belgian authorities informed the European Commission, the Netherlands, ECDC, and WHO about an incident that occured on 2 September 2014. Following a human error, 45 litres of concentrated live polio virus solution were released into the environment by the pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), in Rixensart, Belgium."

Things overheard at brunch this morning with law students:

"travel, you know, just really opens your mind. Like when I was in China, did you know they BLOCK google? you can't search for certain things. And you just, you just have to go to Europe, you go there and you just see we don't know what we're doing. They just do everything better there."

Now sadly I've never come from stock that could afford any of these trips but I'm pretty sure it did not really enhance these people's understanding of world affairs.

This was during a talk of political aspirations, too. These are people who know the right people and have made good connections.

edit: this was a progressive brunch too, with gay law students. The scion in question other suggestion is we just need to re-locate the 40 odd buildings from the capitol mall or whatever and just "move them downtown into private sky scrapers".

This is why drinking is helpful during these things.

What did this individual think we should do with all of those huge, unique buildings the government is currently using, I wonder.

I was going to ask this in the Ferguson thread, but this seems like the place to go when you don't want to contribute to a derail.

I'm curious about the theory behind AA laws (just because I don't know). Is it that legislation to improve this is intended to serve as a fix by forcing at least some people from that minority to get positions and opportunities that would normally be denied them, and to over time contribute to a solution by making it so that people would see minorities in these positions?

I think a deeper answer is going to need something more specific than "AA laws," but yeah, part of the idea is that you're giving people opportunities they've been denied and helping to repair historic disparities by giving people a leg up.

well, it's still mandatory, but apparently the courts have been getting more and more lenient about enforcing it. i think that specific case was the only time it wasn't actually enforced, though, with a more recent law on patient rights trumping the law from 1968. it was plenty controversial, however, and i doubt many other magistrates would come to the same judgement. but who knows?
