Is renewable energy feasible?

Nicaragua is headed toward energy independence, mostly from renewable sources. It certainly isn't there yet but it has a plan. On the other side lots of people (including people here on NL) have said renewable energy won't work. That is, it's too expensive, unreliable and more.

Eastern European refugees would buy a run down fixer, and transform it into the nicest house on the street; Somalis so different from our home-grown African Americans, THEIR kids excel in school instead of dealing drugs. So much opportunity still available; it's your choice.

Survey of Aduana/customs and other Nica government practices- ASAP!

To whom it may concern:

Your prompt, honest answers are appreciated to the short survey linked below. The survey is in response to recent published concerns about problems with importing NGO humanitarian aid and personal goods (for Nicaraguan legal residents). Your answers will be _anonymous_ except with expressed permission.

The hope is that the cumulative results will enable informed and positive discussions with interested Nicaraguan authorities.

Thanks so much for your help. Feel free to distribute where appropriate!

Rios Montt Trial Stopped

During the 1980s, Nicaragua wasn't the only country in Central America being manipulated by the Reagan administration. One other was Guatemala. A few weeks ago Efrain Rios Montt, former president/dictator finally went on trial for genocide conducted by his administration in the early 1980s. Yesterday, however, the trial was stopped because of what amounts to a prodecural error. The case must go back to the pre-trial phase. (Note that the lawyers representing Rios Montt are the ones who represente John McAfee.)

Colombian ex-president under investigation for loss to Nicaragua

There have been a few articles here about Nicaragua being granted a big chunk of the Caribbean that was claimed by Colombia. There are certainly continuing issues such as patrolling this area still of concern on the Nicaraguan end.

An article in Colombia Reports talks about the Colombia end. It's not clear what is going to come up in the investigation but it is happening.

Since the guy who made this wasn't sure he could match woods with the other furniture he'd made for me, I decided to get it painted white.

Claro services contract versus prepaid

Some of my friends have contracts with Claro and all seem to pay much more than I do for Claro's services. Considering the quality of thier service I wanted to show just how cheap it can be to use Claro without the hassles of a contract.

I use Claro's prepaid internet, and cell service. I have a contract for their cable but only because pre-paid is not offered (the cable has been out since about 2 pm this afternoon by the way).

Homeland Security former agent´s residency approved

Immigration granted yesterday (April 16th) the permanent residency to a former agent of the Home Land Security of USA (Retiree). The process took one year and officially there wasn't any problem, I was informed off the record that the reason for the delay was because he was an ex law enforcement agent. The gist is at the end of waiting time he was approved. As for now, we must know in this kind of cases we have to wait more

Yes, another GMO study

Not sure if this belongs in Agriculture or Health. Monsanto didn't pay for this study and it tells us that GMOs are not a good thing. This time with some numbers.

As GMO corn is the norm and corn is such a large part of the Nicaraguan diet, the nutrition information is pretty important. From the article
