The Mexican Revolution of 1910: A Sociohistorical Interpretation
A rigged election and a political crisis among competing elites, middle classes, and rural workers: What could go wrong? The Mexican Revolution of 1910 began as a multilocal revolt against the 35-year regime of dictator Porfirio Díaz and evolved into a national revolution and civil war lasting nearly a decade. Javier Garciadiego—a leading historian of Mexico’s revolution—will discuss the precursors, armed struggles, political factions, U.S. manipulations, and triumphs of Mexico’s revolution, including the development of a landmark constitution—one of the first in the world to enshrine social rights.
Javier Garciadiego Dantán is a Mexican historian who specializes in the Mexican Revolution. He currently serves as Director of the Mexican Academy of History. He is a former president of El Colegio de México (2005–2015)—where he was also Professor of History. Garciadiego is the author of several books, the recipient of many awards and honors, and has been a visiting scholar at St Anthony's College, University of Oxford; University of Chicago; Trinity College, Dublin; Complutense University of Madrid, and the University of Salamanca. He holds a B.A. in Political Science from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and a Ph.D. in History from El Colegio de México (1982). He completed a second doctorate in History of Latin America at the University of Chicago.

Paquime, a Possible Ancient Alien Site and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Casas Grandes, MEXICO
Pierre Repooc Productions - URL:
Paquime housed a pre Columbian civilization for about 800 years, which mysteriously disappeared, without explanation, just before the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors.
It is situated in the State of Chihuahua in Mexico and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The settlement began about 700 AD and reached its zenith in 1350 AD. It was completely abandoned by the time of the Spanish conquest.
What happened to the peoples of Casas Grandes is unknown.
PANCHO VILLA - WikiVidi Documentary
Francisco Pancho Villa was a Mexican Revolutionary general and one of the most prominent figures of the Mexican Revolution. As commander of the División del Norte in the Constitutionalist Army, he was a military-landowner of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Given the area's size and mineral wealth, it provided him with extensive resources. Villa was also provisional Governor of Chihuahua in 1913 and 1914. Villa can be credited with decisive military victories leading to the ousting of Victoriano Huerta from the presidency in July 1914. Villa then fought his erstwhile leader in the coalition against Huerta, First Chief of the Constitutionalists Venustiano Carranza. Villa was in alliance with southern revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, who remained fighting in his own region of Morelos. The two revolutionary generals briefly came together to take Mexico City after Carranza's forces retreated from it. Later, Villa's heretofore undefeated División del Norte engaged the militar...

DURANGO TIERRA DE CINE
Durango Mexico
Lights … camera … action! Are the orders that for more than fifty years (1954-2004) have been constantly repeated in Durango, a.k.a. ‘the Land of Cinema’, for in the City and its surroundings had been filmed dozens of movies, some of which were enacted by renowned actors from Hollywood, as Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Bob Dylan, Diane Lane, Jack Nicholson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, John Leguizamo, Marlon Brando, Brad Pitt, Salma Hayek, Dany Devito, John Belushi, Michel Douglas, Kevin Costner, Anthony Quinn, Paul Newman, John Wayne, Harrison Ford, Christopher Reeve, Ringo Starr, Russell Crowe, Robert Power, Antonio Banderas, Mel Gibson, Omar Shariff, Julia Roberts, Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine, Leonardo di Caprio, Alec Guiness, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and directors like George lucas, Steven Spielberg, Francis Coppola, Sergio Leone, James Cameron, John Ford, Sam Peckinpah, Dino de Laurentis, John Huston, Alfonso Arau, Robert Rodriguez, Alfonso Cuaron just to mention a few of them. Unfortunately, John Candy died there filming his last Hollywood movie, “Wagon Wheels”.
At the same time extremely important and Oscar winning movies like Ben Hur, The Magnificent Seven, Dr. Doctor Zhivago, Star Wars, Superman, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, Conan, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Resident Evil, Jesus of Nazareth, The Wild Bunch, Once Upun a Time in the West, The Caveman, Indiana Jones, Thor, Pearl Harbor, Nacho Libre, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Close Encounters of the third Kind, Predator, The Mask of Zorro, Master and Commander, True Grit, Troy, Braveheart, and Mexican movies like Una Aventura en Durango, Patrulla 81, Like Water for Chocolate, Y tu Mama Tambien, Bestia Nocturna, El Juez de la Soga y Uno para la Horca.
The success of Durango in the celluloid is sustained by the beauty of its natural landscapes, its nearly always clear skies, its brightened environments and of course, the colonial features of its Historical Centre. These issues became evident for the first time in the scenes of the movie “La Vida de Villa” (1912), which recounted the revolutionary struggles of Francisco “Pancho” Villa. For Ben Hur, the area of Santiago Papasquiaro in Durango was where the recreation of most of the old Roman empire took place, and for Dr Zhivago, the Sierra Madre and its snowed vistas were Russia. The desserts around the state were the other worldly locations for Star Wars.The exquisite colonial architecture of Durango, Capital of the State of the same name, is complemented by a splendid natural background, which stores some fantastic places to visit, as the mysterious zone El Silencio, a salt desert loaded with energy, which causes the compasses to go wild, the clocks to stop functioning and the radio waves get lost. NASA conduct research in this area consistently.Durango, at 903 kilometre distance from Mexico City, was the birth place of Doroteo Arango … of who? You should very justifiably ask, but the Doroteo in question was no other than the mythical Francisco “Pancho” Villa, a.k.a. the “Centaur of the North”, one of the most emblematical leaders of the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century.Today, Durango is a city that is experiencing economical and industrial growth. The clothing company Carhartt U.S.A, has just built a new manufacturing facility near the Durango International Airport. Big name retailers like Domino’s, Blockbuster, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Wal-Mart and McDonald’s have made Durango their home. The information contained here has been gathered from different sources and on the next list you can find more information and original posters from some of the most important movies filmed in Durango.Because of its connection to the movies, you can find in Durango a few museums dedicated to the history of movie making in the state as well as film schools providing training for the local population and important film festivals. Sergio Leone was crazy for Durango and decided to shoot The Good, the Bad and the Ugly there as well as in Spain and Italy.Hollywood noticed the beauty of Durango many years ago, one of the most beautiful states in Mexico favoring it as the number two place to go in the world when there is a need for diverse and beautiful locations that include desserts, mountains, colonial towns, blue skies, forests, water falls which number more than one hundred, snow, jungles, great light, and all close to each other. Another important aspect of the importance of Durango is that the big studios, Warner Brothers, Fox, Columbia, Disney, Miramax, World Film Magic, etc. always feel welcome and find a place where it is easy to work, find friendly people and never feel in a rush to leave. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg can attest to that.

Chamizal Convention Remembered 50 Years Later
When we think of memorials we often think of the sacrifice and loss of life that was made by many during a war, event, or movement.
However, in El Paso north of the Rio Grande, next to a bridge that connects the United States with Mexico lies a memorial dedicated to peace.The Chamizal National Memorial tells the story of a land dispute that led to a peaceful resolution between the U.S. and Mexico.
The memorial tells the story of The United States and Mexico agreeing to peacefully resolve a nearly 100 year long dispute regarding land rights.
The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo established the Rio Grande as part of the boundary between the U.S. and Mexico. However, years later a massive flood complicated that agreement.
Nestor Valencia, a former chief planner for El Paso is one of few still alive who worked towards the Chamizal Treaty.
The river flooded the area between El Paso and Juarez, and it changed the channel from 1852-1864, leaving about 470 acres of land North of the new overnight channel, said Valencia.
That dispute would lead up to 1910 when the two countries agreed to appoint an arbitration committee made up to hear the dispute which would later be won by Mexico a year later.
The United States refused to accept that decision continuing the dispute between the neighboring countries according to Valencia.
Many things happened between 1911 and 1961 when President John F. Kennedy and Adolfo Lopez Mateos meet in Mexico City, said Valencia.
It was at that meeting that the two presidents agreed to end the dispute quickly.
After President Kennedy's assassination, President Lyndon Johnson followed through with the agreement that the two presidents had made and in 1964 he and Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos unveiled the new boundary marker that separated the two countries.
The Chamizal National Memorial in El Paso is displaying the efforts of President Lyndon Johnson towards the agreement between the two countries.
One of the final agreements between the two countries was the establishment of a monument on both sides of the border to honor the peaceful solution.
Ann Doherty-Stephan, with the National Park Service works at the Chamizal National Memorial. She shares what visitors can find there.
Depending on the time of year, it varies. We do have three gallery spaces and exhibits. The art shows rotate throughout the year. We also have a museum, and it talks about the river, and the change of course of the river, which is really the heart and core of the story here at the Chamizal National Memorial, says Doherty-Stephan.
It is at the memorial where you can also gain a sense of a shared history between the two countries. According to Nestor Valencia, the agreement helped both countries along with the two border cities of El Paso and Juarez.
It was a dispute that was settled between two neighboring countries that came to an international court that really benefited both countries, improved relations between the two countries, and improved the boundary development between the two cities, says Valencia.
Some improvements in El Paso were a new Bowie High and Vocational School, and the Franklin irrigation canal was relocated.
In Juarez, a massive park was built on the old river bed, a large sports arena was built, and railroads were relocated.
The agreement also called for new border highways and above grade multinational bridges for both countries.
What Ifs: Santa Fe and Southwestern Archaeology
Steve Lekson, February 23, 2017, James A. Little Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico
For over a century, individuals and institutions of Santa Fe played decisive roles in the development of Southwestern archaeology – certainly for better but, in some ways, perhaps for worse. We trace the remarkable influences of Santa Fe’s archaeologists, museums, and world-views on the practice of Southwestern archaeology and on our perceptions of the ancient past. In this entertaining talk, archaeologist Stephen Lekson asks some “what ifs?” What if: Instead of Santa Fe, Southwestern archaeology centered in Tucson? Or developed out of Ciudad Chihuahua? Or if Southwestern archaeology identified as History, rather than as a laboratory of Anthropology?

French intervention in Mexico
The second French intervention in Mexico, also known as the Maximilian Affair, Mexican Adventure, the War of the French Intervention, the Franco-Mexican War or the Second Franco-Mexican War, was an invasion of Mexico in late 1861 by the Second French Empire, supported in the beginning by the United Kingdom and Spain. It followed President Benito Juárez's suspension of interest payments to foreign countries on 17 July 1861, which angered these three major creditors of Mexico.
Emperor Napoleon III of France was the instigator, justifying military intervention by claiming a broad foreign policy of commitment to free trade. For him, a friendly government in Mexico would ensure European access to Latin American markets. Napoleon also wanted the silver that could be mined in Mexico to finance his empire. Napoleon built a coalition with Spain and Britain while the U.S. was deeply engaged in its civil war.

Best The Power And Beauty Of Crystals, Gemstones and Minerals
Best The Power And Beauty Of Crystals, Gemstones and Minerals
Fluorite
Forget rubies, garnets and sapphires. Fluorite may be the world's most colourful mineral, because of the enormous range of brilliant and even iridescent colours it displays. The funny thing is, pure fluorite crystals are transparent.
Selenite
Buried beneath the Sierra de Naica mountain in Chihuahua, northern Mexico, the Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) is home to the largest crystals on planet Earth. Gargantuan, milky white beams of selenite, some as long as 11m and more than 1m wide, criss-cross the underground chamber. There is no other place on the planet where the mineral world reveals itself in such beauty, says Juan Manuel García-Ruiz of the University of Granada in Spain, a geologist who studies the crystals.
Iceland Spar
The Icelandic sagas of the 10th century record the details of Viking voyages. They describe a mysterious sunstone, which Scandinavian seafarers used to locate the Sun in the sky and navigate on cloudy days.
The identity of the stone stumped scholars for centuries, but in 2011 a convincing candidate was put forward: Iceland spar.
Quartz
Quartz also does interesting things because of its structural asymmetries. If you squeeze a crystal of quartz, it generates a tiny electric current. The pressure on the crystal's surface forces ions within it to move out of position, upsetting the overall charge balance and turning the crystal into a tiny battery, with oppositely-charged faces.
Galena
Galena is the most common lead-rich mineral, and an important ore of both lead and silver. But that's just its day job.
It's the crystal's ability to extract music and voices from radio waves that makes it truly beguiling. It put galena centre stage in the revolutionary crystal radio sets of the early 1900s.
Autunite
Autunite is a mineral that the big kid in everyone can get excited about. Its tablet-shaped crystals look like lurid yellow-green scales, its uranium content makes it radioactive, and – the icing on the cake of cool – it fluoresces.
When ultraviolet light shines on an autunite crystal, it imparts energy to electrons within the crystal's uranium atoms. Each excited electron jumps momentarily away from the nucleus of its atom, then falls back.

The Border Wall: Life and Injury on the Frontlines
Ieva Jusionyte, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Social Studies, Department of Anthropology and Committee on Degrees in Social Studies; Faculty Associate, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University
The idea of building a wall on the U.S./Mexico border serves as a potent symbol across the political spectrum—a means of assuaging social and economic anxieties by placing them onto a remote frontier. Ieva Jusionyte will consider how an anthropological analysis of the state, borders, and security can help people understand the meaning and impact of such a wall. Drawing on ethnographic research with emergency responders who rescue those injured in government actions against drugs and unauthorized migration, she will discuss how deploying “tactical infrastructure” (of which the wall is but one piece) changes everyday life on both sides of the border.

Mexican Revolution
The Mexican Revolution or Mexican Civil War was a major armed struggle that started in 1910, with an uprising led by Francisco I. Madero against longtime autocrat Porfirio Díaz, and lasted for the better part of a decade until around 1920. Over time the Revolution changed from a revolt against the established order to a multi-sided civil war with frequently shifting power struggles. This armed conflict is often categorized as the most important sociopolitical event in Mexico and one of the greatest upheavals of the 20th century, which saw important experimentation and reformation in social organization.
