Gramática de la gratitud. Comentarios a todos los libros de G. K. Chesterton (Spanish Edition)

One more interesting fact, in the general history of the United States, concerns three Hispanics who were instrumental in the success of the American Revolution and without whose help our country would possibly not exist today. Without the contributions of these men perhaps the United States today would not be a dominant world power but rather a third world country made up of Spanish, French, and English postcolonial entities.

The first notable person was George Washington, whom historian Robert H. As our first president he set a standard and protocol for the office that exists even today. Some historians consider him to be the greatest man born in the last thousand years worldwide. He was field marshal of all the Spanish armies in America. Bernardo arrived in Mexico in and became commandant of the army of Nueva Vizcaya.

He had already served in a campaign against Portugal and later fought in France and Algiers. He fought the Apaches on the frontier and once was wounded with a lance that pierced his chest. The Apaches left him for dead but he miraculously recovered. In January he became Governor of Louisiana. The supplies went up the Mississippi and the Ohio River. They arrived in time and Fort Pitt was saved. As an example, in one shipment on September Spain contributed brass cannon, gun carriages, 27 mortars, 29 couplings, 12, shells, 51, bullets.

He requisitioned beef for his forces from Texas ranchers, primarily those that operated between San Antonio and Goliad along the San Antonio River.

The descendants of these ranchers are qualified to become members of the Sons of the American Revolution. He defeated the British all up and down the Mississippi and then turned his attention to the Gulf. England was trying to take over the area primarily to split North America and South America. In addition, Central America had many natural resources and control was necessary to transport goods overland between the Atlantic and The Pacific oceans. Matias also defeated the British and expelled them from that theatre of war. A loan was arranged and a call went out to the Cuban people to also contribute.

It is said that the Cubans contributed arms, munitions, and clothing and even personal items of gold and silver. Washington reportedly filled two warehouses with the goods. The soldiers were paid and with the blockade of the sea by the French navy under Admiral Francois-Joseph Paul de Grasse, Washington dealt the final blow to British troops, paving the way for a new and independent nation. We owe Cubans a debt of gratitude.

The third notable Hispanic, lesser known, but crucial to winning the Revolutionary War was a Portuguese lad named Peter Francisco abandoned on the shores of America on June 23, He was outside the window of St. Even then he had grown to a large size and was very strong. He was first wounded at the Battle of Brandywine, and he recuperated next to a young general, the Marquis de Lafayette, also wounded in that battle. They became life-long friends. Peter fought in almost every major battle of the Revolution and was a legend in his time.

It is said you could not sit by campfire without listing to stories of his exploits. He was wounded six times, two almost fatally, and he was a hero in peacetime also, at one time carrying armfuls of people from a disastrous theater fire in Richmond, Virginia. He was six-foot-eight and described as the Virginia Giant. Some historians believe him to have been the strongest man in America and consider him the greatest soldier who has ever served in U.

He was truly a One-Man Army. La Leyenda Negra consists of historical writings and attitudes that demonize Spain and its empire and was created to incite animosity against Spanish rule. One example says that the conquistadores were extremely cruel killing thousands of Indians in sadistic fashion and had to demonstrate their superiority in ugly and oppressive acts.

The Black Legend says that no military necessity justifies such acts and the only possible explanation lies in a national psychological perversion. The Spaniards rebut that these stories have been developed by enemies of Spain without looking at the true facts. While such acts of extremism occurred, they happened on both sides, as in all wars, and were indicative of the entire age. With respect to cruelty, Spain has a better record than England, which virtually exterminated the Indians in their colonies in one of the most lethal and determined programs of ethnic slaughter on record.

And the English, unlike the Spanish, never expressed any feelings of guilt or questioned the ethics of their imperial conduct. Spaniards made citizens of their Native American subjects, assimilated by marriage with many of the advanced tribes, and educated them. This denigration of Spain and its people can be traced back to Queen Elizabeth I, a bitter enemy of Philip II , especially after the Spanish Armanda was launched but failed to accomplish its goals. The Catholic versus Protestant conflict figured prominently in the alienation of the two countries.

Elizabeth envied the territories and riches of Spain, already a world power when England was still a pastoral agricultural country emerging from the Dark Ages. She was, no doubt, a worthy opponent and she set her pirates, mainly the fleets of Francis Drake and John Hawkins, to infringe on Spanish territory and capture their ships loaded with gold and silver on their way to Europe. Spain was unable to defend such a large worldwide territory and the English, French and Dutch consistently harassed Spanish territories. The Bank of England, and in fact, the British Empire, were established and built from stolen Spanish gold and silver.

She came seemingly out of nowhere and was perhaps spiritually guided because what she accomplished in her lifetime staggers the imagination, perhaps making her the greatest woman born in the last thousand years. She had the knack of always selecting the right person for the job. Her husband, Ferdinand, was a sly and crafty politician who helped her unite Spain. She broke the power of the nobles, cleaned up criminal gangs ravaging the countryside, reformed the Catholic Church, expelled the Moors after a campaign against Granada that lasted ten years, and encouraged Christopher Columbus in his quest.

She is a great role model for Hispanic women. One of the great feats of the English has been to expertly market their history, language and culture. Its literature, dialects, accents, gardening, tea socials, and breakfasts are indeed appealing. The histories and cultures of Spain, Portugal, France, and the Netherlands, closely studied, are just as interesting and fascinating.

I would be remiss if I did not give England credit for its great legal contributions to justice. But it should be equally noted that Spanish law, especially in the Southwestern United States, extended the body of rules that produced a better quality of life for our citizens. In Texas, for example, Anglo Texans incorporated facets of the Castilian system of civil courts. It is unfortunate that Spanish literature has not received proper recognition in academic studies and students are not generally aware of its lyrical beauty.

Since I did not have a vehicle, Father Cruz was kind enough to let me ride with him in his early s Volkswagen. On one occasion when we had finished our work, he invited me to the movie theater on Guadalupe Street and adjacent to the campus. I remember that we watch the movie Catch We became very good friends, traveling back and forth from San Antonio to Austin, and this was the beginning of our lifelong friendship. Another student, Gilberto M. Hinojosa, was also in the same class, and we were the only three students in the graduate program with the first name of Gilberto.

In due course, we received our M. And, years later, the three of us, and including our professor Dr. Cruz's magnum opus was Let There Be Towns: Mary's University Alumni magazine, Dr. At the conclusion of the article, Dr. Mary's alumni historians helps ensure that the legacy of the borderlands will continue into the twenty-first century.

Marian Barber, in consultation with Dr. Richard Fossey, originated the idea of having Dr. Cruz write a memorial honoring the deeds of Dr. On January 27, , Dr. Cruz sent me a letter indicating if I wanted to join him and the other two Gilbertos and Dr. I immediately consented, and so did the others. About a month later, on February 10, , I received another letter from Dr. Cruz stating in part, "Let me first thank you for the quick response to our request that you participate in the creation of a memorial on the late Dr.

Hope you are having a great autumn. I'll send you each 10 complimentary copies of the issue when I get them from the printer. Cruz had the following article, "The Vicariate Apostolic of Brownsville: Cruz had just passed away.

My mind went numb, my throat was completely dry, and I felt a knot in my throat, and my eyes were fixated on that email. I didn't know whether to cry in disbelief or to shout, just to get this overwhelming emotion out of my system. Cruz will not be able to see the published memorial to Dr. Miller, nor will he be able to see his article published.

There is no doubt in my mind, that my good friend and fellow historian, Dr. Cruz, was a renowned scholar, an author, a writer, an educator, and a gentleman who over the span of many decades, amassed an incredible record of exceptional achievement. He has influenced, motivated, and inspired thousands of students, and many people from all walks of life. His historical writings have made an indelible contribution to the historical literature of the Southwest. I feel blessed that our paths crossed in that graduate history course with Dr.

I was in shock early this past Friday morning, October 20, , when I read the text message my good friend and former St. Augustine High School classmate, Gustavo Villarreal, had just sent me. He wanted to let me know that Mr. Odie Arambula had passed away at the age of I could not believe what I was reading as I sat at my desk staring at the text message in total disbelief. And not knowing about his health condition, for the past few months I kept sending him historical essays, via emails, about different topics dealing with the history of Laredo, knowing how much he enjoyed reading them and sharing them with his family.

He was very knowledgeable about the history of Laredo and loved to know more about the subject. The Laredo Morning Times referred to him as a "newspaper and humanitarian legend. Arambula was a first class journalist, editor, columnist, and historian. His insightful, interesting, and informative articles were published every Sunday in the Laredo Morning Times under the heading of "Visiting The Past. It was one of these articles that he published on August 31, , titled, "Coney was the spot for fast food," that caught my attention. I responded immediately and shared my own experiences of that well-known landmark in downtown Laredo called Coney Island Restaurant, located at the corner of Flores Avenue and Lincoln Street and right next to the Tivoli Theater.

I mentioned to Mr. Arambula that when I attended St. Augustine School in the s, I remember a son of the owner of Coney Island by the name of Antonio "Tony" Lampros, who was with me in the same grade. He did not start school with me in the first grade, but in , we were together in the 5th grade with Sister Virginia. He would tell me that his father was the owner of Coney Island. I vividly recall when my paternal grandfather would take me to Coney Island to eat a hamburger with a soda.

We sat in one of the booths that were lined against the wall and all of them had a small jukebox. Arambula really enjoyed reading my personal perspectives on this story. Then, there was a dry spell and we lost touch with each other. About a year ago next month, during the early part of November , I sent Mr.

Green forwarded my email to Odie Arambula and we immediately resumed our friendship, with the publication of my essay in his Sunday column, "Visiting The Past. Are you the same J. Gilbert who some years back wrote me a note about the former Coney Island burger restaurant on Flores Avenue in Laredo right next to the Tivoli Theater, formerly the old Strand Theater right in front of City Hall?

I thought I recognized your name from that old e-mail. By the way, the old Azteca movie building still stands, collapsing not yet I learned about the Spanish archives from Seb Wilcox in the basement of the county courthouse, which still stand and is used for county government offices. Wilcox's late daughter, Genevieve, introduced me to him in the basement of the courthouse where he had his work station and where the janitor Pancho Ramirez found the pile of paper in Your narrative is great.

Do I have your permission? Are you in San Antonio? I retired, but I still contribute to the paper. One of these days, I'll be in SA to visit at St. Mary's and tour the place where Wilcox papers and Spanish archives are located. In particular, he became highly interested in my essays dealing with the Spanish Archives of Laredo because he had personally met Mr. Wilcox, the former court reporter of the 49th Judicial District, who was highly instrumental in salvaging and preserving these valuable historical documents. He also knew Seb.

Wilcox's daughter, Genevieve Wilcox Cox, who was his history teacher at Martin High School when he was a sophmore in He enjoyed my essays so much that he published them almost every Sunday for several consecutive weeks. He combined my stories with his own personal knowledge of Laredo's history, making the article that much more interesting and appealing.

In this regard, I would like to share with you one of his replies that he emailed me: Thanks for comments and sharing your notes on those early decrees I trust I shall get around to visit St. Mary's again to take a look at the place where these documents are preserved.

I traveled to San Antonio years ago when the papers were being placed at St. Mary's but missed the whole thing because the group I was traveling with were in a hurry to get to Austin for some athletic event!!! Probably a football game. It may come as a shock to you, but we still have many people in Laredo who don't have a clue about the Spanish Archives of Laredo.

There are hundreds of Laredoans who went to St. They started a girls school convent in Lampazos near Bustamente. The place was burned by the Carranzistas during the Revolution. A few years back the government of Nuevo Leon restored the place and it's now a museum. There were just too many Indians around the Nueces. Regards, Odie Arambula, Laredo. On other occasions, I emailed him essays on the Barrio El Azteca and my experiences growing up in this historic neighborhood, and especially, about going to the Cine Azteca.

He really enjoyed these articles and published them in his Sunday column, "Visiting The Past. Like they used to say at the bars on north San Francisco Avenue near the Puente Blanco Barrio at the arroyo that split US 59 into two street names, Lafayette and Saunders, "Eres un chingon de la letra. I ran the local Bureau for both papers when it was under one owner. I had a lot of fun in the area in those years.

The Medellin family originally is from Laredo. Can't wait to share your note with Mrs. Arambula and my son, Odie Jr. His compliments about my writing skills meant a lot to me, especially coming from a renowned and highly respected journalist like Mr.

Odie Arambula, and are beautifully captured in the following email: To quote a former University of Texas professor of Spanish, a Dr. Gilbert Quezada escribe con plomo writes with lead. His essays on historical events and individuals are brilliant and should be published for general distribution to thousands of public school libraries and research centers across the state. One of these essays hits on the original Spanish Archives of Laredo and should be required reading social studies in every Texas secondary school.

And, last January 1, , I emailed him my most cordial best wishes for a very happy birthday, his 82nd, and he was proud of it. Along with my sincere congratulations, I composed a Mexican cheer una porra in his honor and he alludes to it in his response, which I would like to share with you: Gilberto, A porra back to you. Tu mensaje prende los animos. Un fuerte abrazo y mucho carino y respeto.

He was also the top influencer of the Ruthe B. Cowl Rehabilitation Center, where he served on the executive board for more than 45 years. He was honored by the center a few years ago. His articles will remain as golden nuggets for all eternity. He was so erudite, dedicated, and enormously productive, like a neutron star--compact and brilliant.

But most of all, I admired his vigor, his professionalism, his enthusiasm, and his high level of energy. One does not meet many people of his remarkable stature. I know that Odie Arambula was a guiding spirit to so many for so long, that as the months and years go by, his memory will not diminish, but rather the sense of his loss which we are already feeling, will continue to grow. There is no doubt that Odie Arambula left deep footprints through a life of friendship and hard work, and most importantly, through a life of love for his family and friends.

His brilliant mind and sense of humor will always be remembered by me and by those who were privileged to cross his path. Gilberto Quezada jgilbertoquezada yahoo. Gutierrez, who during the war was captured and escaped twice, both times able to make it back across Allied lines.

He then worked on various farms for a few months in the Bonner Springs area.

On a summer morning in September he would be waiting for a bus to take him to Kansas City, then on to basic training at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. Gomez joined the U. Army on his own accord. After 16 weeks of basic training he was on a train headed for Seattle, Washington where his orders lead him to Japan. The ship then unloaded them at Yokohama Japan on January 15, From there he stepped aboard a train which took him to Sasebo Japan. He then was assigned to the 24 th Infantry Division, 34 th Regiment. It was while he was receiving advanced Infantry training in Sasebo that war broke out in Korea on June 25, We drove the North Korean Army back to the Manchurian border.

As an year-old, Pete Gomez saw such action that could be a breaking-point for most adults. Gomez recalls the bitter cold. It was at least a good hot meal with all of the trimmings. Better than our every day c-rations. We ate outside as we were in an area with no buildings.

The Korean War had many conflicts in the U. President Truman and the U. Congress had to plan strategy which was not always accepted at home. Syngman Rhee was a 73 year-old Christian and a long-time fighter for Korean Independence was venerated by his countrymen. He had been imprisoned as a young man by the Japanese and then was able to flee to the United States, where he earned degrees and graduated from Georgetown, Harvard and Princeton Universities.

He was eager and expected to be the leader in Korea. On October 25, South Korean forces were on an errand to draw water from the Yalu River and then place the water in a bottle as a gift to Syngman Rhee. They were destroyed by an unknown enemy soon after. The unknown enemy also later had a skirmish with U. The Americans took a few prisoners and then realized that they did not speak Korean. Within a few hours calls were being made to the command-center that the U. The Russians soon after were giving the Chinese troops some air cover with MIG jets in order to ease passage of troops crossing over the Yalu River.

On November 26 th the Chinese in their movement to spread communism invaded with all of their power. They attacked with approximately , men. In this unusually cold winter they attacked approximately , Koreans, , U. Many of the Chinese movements were made at night. They were badly equipped, which included few radios. Many times, when conducting assaults, they communicated with bugles and other instruments. By Mid-December the Chinese were slowed down and weakened because of a slow supply system. They moved equipment by foot, oxcart, horses and even camels.

They drove us back south again to the 38 th Parallel. They were overwhelmed and had to withdraw through enemy fire. The 34 th lost at least men out of the 1, who were present at Taejon. There are some experiences of the war he does not care to remember and he in some cases will not even discuss. Gomez returned home in April He earned extra points for his being involved in heavy action at the front and was allowed to leave Korea after 9 months of war.

Later he would be assigned to a construction battalion in Colorado where he learned to repair and maintain diesel driven motors. This would later lead him to his life-long career of working on locomotives. In years past, he recalls very little discussion of the Korean War. He even visited Seoul South Korea 5 years ago with his wife Trina. It has been an honor for me to personally know more about Pete Gomez. I only wish I had known him sooner. I thought I knew him, but my thoughts were not even close. Gomez remembers the Yalu River. At the age of 18, he had always lived close to the Kansas River sometime referred as the Kaw River , but the Yalu River was completely different, as it was very wide and ran at a fast rate — among many mountains.

There was a major battle on the bridges there in November which included , Chinese troops. In there was a proposal by the Chinese to build a new bridge over the Yalu River. There used to be 3 bridges close to the Korean border over the Yalu River, but 2 of the bridges were destroyed by American forces during the war. History has shown that the Korean War was fought in the coldest winter on Record. Troops on both sides many times fought under difficult conditions.

There were several countries and personalities involved. Unfortunately, the war had a negative effect on then-President Truman, who left office with a 35 percent approval rating from the public. President Eisenhower whose term started in January was troubled by the complexities of the war. Neither North Korea nor South Korea signed the document. Today, they remain technically at war.

Here's how social media connects faith leaders with believers and haters around the world. Some of those principles included and sent to all federal agencies and departments: The freedom of religion is an important, fundamental right, expressly protected by federal law. The freedom of religion extends to persons and organizations. Government may not officially favor or disfavor particular religious groups. Generally, the federal government may not condition federal grants or contracts on the religious organization altering its religious character, beliefs, or activities. PDF With today's actions, the burden of proof has finally shifted back to the government where it belongs.

Americans no longer have to prove that they deserve their religious liberty. This is a story of her youth on a Southern Arizona ranch near Arivaca in the early 20th century. It is the story of a young girl, being educated by her father in the harsh realities of life and the beauty that surrounds her. At this time the Tohono O'odham still inhabited the non-reservation land around Arivaca, Arizona.

In Eva's world in this remote part of the desert, Indians were an integral part of life on the Wilbur-Cruce Ranch. Festivals and holidays such as the Feast of the Holy Cross and Harvest were celebrated together. The Indians departed for the reservations sometime around the time Arizona became a state. It seemed to Eva that this was the beginning of the end of the lifestyle she loved. When the Indians left for the reservation, part of the heart of the land left with them. I have yet to find an exact year or documentation of this event, but Eva remembers that time vividly.

In third and fourth grade California students study the state's history including the missions and ranchos. However, few tales from this period have been written down, until now. Rancho San Felipe is a true story of a adventure told by the daughter of the hero.

Woman-of-the-year winner Sarah Duque's delightful full-color illustrations make this true story equally appropriate as a third- and fourth-grade reader and a read-aloud book. Includes a map , vocabulary , and brands used to identify cattle. Some photos from the author's present-day cattle ranch are here. New Myths Publishing Language: Following the lead of the guitarreros singing guitarists who were making "ethnic records" for American recording companies, the developing conjuntos also began commercializing their style and bringing nostalgia for the rancho to the city.

Because of their popularity in recordings, their styles became models for a generation of musicians. Expanding his conjunto, he utilized a guitarist for harmonic accompaniment and added a tololoche or upright bass for a stronger bass line. Rarely using the bass notes or chords of his instrument, he delegated the harmonic accompaniment and bass line completely to his accompanying guitarist. Both musicians used the newer two-row, two-key model of accordion.

In the s, incorporating the singing tradition of the guitarreros into their music, these pioneer accordionists began to add song lyrics with duet harmonies to their instrumental dance music. The typical lyrics of lost love, often framed in a rural setting, seemed to reflect the working-class Tejanos' tie with the past on the rancho. The conjuntos utilized new technology in their music and made some innovations, but to please their public they basically maintained the Tejano style.

Tony de la Rosa, from Sarita, Texas, became an extremely popular performer in that decade. He used the more versatile three-row, three-key accordion and was one of the first to add a drum set to his conjunto. Playing in the larger dance halls, groups like his needed more volume, so amplification was used for the four instruments that by this time had become standard in the conjuntos: Rosa's conjunto was one of the first of scores of groups to perform on what became known as the migrant trail. In the s and s, many poor Tejanos moved from Texas to jobs in agriculture and industry from California to the Midwest, thinking that a change of residence might bring a change in fortunes.

Cities like Fresno, California, and Chicago, Illinois, accumulated large communities of transplanted Tejanos who would pay well to have conjuntos play for their weekend dances. After the late s the conjunto of accordion, bajo sexto , electric bass, and drums, playing mostly polkas and valses rancheras both with romantic lyrics , changed little, though its popularity grew. This era is probably best represented by the style of accordionist Ruben Naranjo from the Corpus Christi area, who died in Related Products Tejano Proud: Todos los autores se han topado con eso.

For NALIP, who has already been at the forefront of nurturing short form content through its Latino Lens Incubator programs, platforms like NewTV are an opportunity to connect these creators to a new distribution model. For Latinos, both on and behind camera, the question is whether or not these platforms are providing an avenue for bringing more diverse voices to these new platforms. Of the 1, top-grossing films in that time frame, a USC study found that just three black women, two Asian women, and one Latina had been hired as directors. The king is the platform.

Pierce Brosnan was cast to replace him.

Reception The first season has received mixed reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, " The Son 's epic narrative and strong central performance are crippled by sluggish pacing, hasty direction, and superficial execution. Guillermo Padilla Origel padillaoguillermo prodigy. Salman Ichia R , one of 19 Jews from Yemen, who were brought to Israel in what immigration officials described as the last covert operation to move members of a dwindling Jewish community dating back two millennia.. A new ruling in Jewish law permitting a specific genetic test to be used as proof of Jewish descent for certain Ashkenazi Jews is being promoted as a possible solution for potentially hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens from the former Soviet Union FSU having difficulty proving their Jewish status.

The mass immigration of Jews from the FSU to Israel was widely seen as a welcome blessing for the country, but many of them have experienced difficulties proving their Jewish identity for marriage and other personal status requirements due to the suppression of religious activity by the former Soviet regime. This has caused, and continues to cause, severe problems for these immigrants and their descendants, and threatens to become a wider social problem if ever-greater numbers of such people have their Jewish status rejected by the rabbinical courts and the Chief Rabbinate, as has been happening of late.

A new volume of responsa on matters of Jewish law, written at the Eretz Hemdah Institute under the direction and guidance of Carmel and Rabbi Moshe Ehrenreich, who also co-heads the institute, deals with a case in Munich, Germany, several years ago in which a woman sought to join a Jewish community and claimed to be Jewish. She was asked for proof of her Jewish status, but much of her family had perished in the Holocaust and her living relatives would not help her since her maternal grandmother had survived and vowed not to have any further connection to the Jewish people.

With no other way of proving her Jewish lineage, the woman took a mitochondrial DNA test and submitted it as evidence that she was indeed Jewish. Carmel explained to The Jerusalem Post the scientific rationale behind the claim. The report was authored by Prof. Shai Tzur, a fellow geneticist from Rambam. Carmel says that because the test relates very specifically to one group of people descended from four individuals, it cannot be abused in the future as a prerequisite for determining Jewish status.

Carmel and Ehrenreich have submitted their responsa and the genetic study to the Chief Rabbinate in the hope that the test could be accepted as valid by the rabbinical courts as a way of proving the Jewish status of citizens who are otherwise unable to do so. However, Rabbi Seth Farber, head of the ITIM religious services advisory organization, expressed concern that the test could constitute the beginning of a slippery slope to greater reliance on scientific methods to prove Jewishness, which he said runs counter to traditional Jewish law. Farber said that genetic tests could threaten the use of such decision-making tools by rabbinical judges.

Carmel said in response to these issues that "While we appreciate Rabbi Farber's concerns, our experience is that there are indeed many people who are truly unsure of their Jewish status and certainly unable to provide sufficient proof to be accepted by many rabbinical courts, and thus we would not want to deprive them of this opportunity to prove their Jewish identity.

The concern of a slippery slope in this case seems less valid, because the mtDNA testing only applies to one segment of Ashkenazi Jews, and thus even if one does not turn up positive in the testing, all other current paths of proving Jewish identity are still open before him or her. You may have missed it as I did but apparently the things that keeps Biblical scholars up at night has lately been this: Dunno why this was such a academic obsession, but now we have an answer. The scientists in Cairo went on to issue their findings: But that was way before DNA.

Sixty thousand students on that campus, and a grand total of 8 of us were in the genetics program. So figuring out what we could do with DNA was still far in the future. But all kinds of history hunting can be done with DNA today. And —lucky for us --a group of German scientists have decided to revisit the question of ancient Egyptian inheritance using DNA.

I can name that tune in one word. The harsh temperatures and dry conditions of the Sahara tend to denature DNA, and quickly. And never to be recovered. And the results surprised nearly everyone. The group obtained DNA from three different mummies at a site near Cairo and —for the first time—used the most modern techniques in analyzing the genetic makeup of each mummy. And… drum roll please…All three mummies were in agreement. No African ancestry whatsoever. Africa did not play a factor in the genetics of ancient Egyptians. It would have been a whole lot cheaper.

Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath,[ a ] and Togarmah. Mizraim is another name for Egypt. Meaning the sons of Ham after the flood were the progenitors of the Egyptians. Meaning Egyptian blood will become the dominant type in surrounding areas over time.

That means fire danger will be high this summer, Gonzales said.

He gets five to six calls a week, while he got at most one call a week last year. He plans to buy more goats this winter. Their animals chomp down shrubs, brush, grass and other plants — known as browse — for regular landscaping maintenance and to create defensible buffers of low-brush areas around houses and other buildings for wildfire protection. Thrall and Gonzales have regular contracts with cities and school districts, counties, state-owned properties such as the college and federal landowners.

At least 10 years ago, the city of Norco hired goats for weed abatement on acres now home to Silverlakes Sports Complex. Brought from Oregon, the goats took care of 40 percent of the land but got sick from a tobacco relative, said Assistant City Manager Brian Petree, who recommended goats for hilly terrain. Thrall mostly takes jobs for 20 acres or more and runs to goats on a property after setting up a hot-wire fence.

He also has about to Boer, Lamancha and Nubian goats at Chaffey College, where machinery and herbicides proved too expensive to control tumbleweeds drifting into prison grounds. At Chaffey College recently, topound Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd dogs blended in, their brown eyes watching for coyotes, people and other dogs as they sat or lay in the grass. Goats eat poison oak, blackberries, young palms and most other plants. Goats are better than sheep for such work. With four stomachs, they eat their fill, then rest while they digest. He made a living in the restaurant business and small truck driving before he bought his first goats after marrying a veterinarian.

For people with smaller properties, Thrall said hiring a tractor and disk or a neighbor with a weed eater is cheaper. Goats are rebels and escape artists. They must have at least one other goat for company. The class, sponsored by the Consulate of Mexico, teaches participants how to start a successful business. Fabiola Lua, 40, of Santa Ana is a single mother of four but not a victim of domestic violence, as are most participants in the eight-week class aimed at helping Mexicans start their own businesses.

Through the Emprendedoras entrepreneurs class, Lua registered for permits but also got paperwork in place for something beyond the requirement — starting a nonprofit to connect youth and adults released from prison to work at her catering company. We came here to work. Other graduates showcased their businesses — from Mexican food to desserts to clothing and purses — during the graduation reception at the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

The new graduates join the 25 million Latino workers who contribute to the U. Robles said more nonprofits like the one Lua is in the process of starting are needed in the community. Lua said she also got inspiration for her nonprofit through the restorative justice approach, which focuses on rehabilitation of criminal offenders and their integration back into society.

She wants to put people being released from prison to work cooking and baking. The nonprofit, which has yet to be named, has the support of immigrants rights group Resilience OC. It will be housed in the same building where Lua runs her catering business, she said. Students tell lawmakers their struggles growing up in Santa Ana.

During Truth2Power, political leaders and others in the entertainment industry met with about high school students from across the district who gathered at Saddleback High to share their stories, while other students watched an online feed from their social studies classes. Stories such as that of a Century High School senior who shared this: I was playing video games with him.

At various points, administrators asked students to use their cell phones to vote on whether they could relate to what their classmates had shared. A question relating to a story about a friend whose relative was deported got the highest percentage of agreement.

You have to want to achieve better things. The students were candid. And so were the speakers. Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa told students he was raised by his mother since age 5, and as a teenager, he got kicked out of a Catholic school. College was high on the minds of the students gathered in the Saddleback High auditorium. Speakers encouraged them to work hard and told them college is within their grasp. Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva also noted many good careers are accessible without a degree. Santa Ana Unified is the largest school district in Orange County, with some 51, students: Festival International en Cine Guadalajara in L.
