Traditional Mayan Hut, Mexico
One of the interesting things about living or visiting this part of the world is the fact it is a living museum. Here the ancient Mayan culture mixes with Spanish colonial and the modern world. You can still see Mayan houses in towns and even in Playa Del Carmen.
Usually Mayan homes are one open room. This is where sleeping and resting is done. Hammocks can be hung up from the sides of the home and taken down during the day for more space if needed.
Storage of items is done in baskets or plastic bags tied to beams. This can be for both personal items and food. Most Mayan homes do not have a refrigerator. Hanging food in plastic bags helps keep insects out. Of course most food is made fresh and picked close to eating, so storage is not as important.
Guillermo Gómez - Peña Unplugged
Guillermo Gómez-Peña Unplugged:
A brand new spoken-word monologue by el Mad Mex
Tuesday, September 13, 2016
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Performing Arts & Humanities Building : Proscenium Theatre
Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Chicano performance artist, writer, activist, and educator
In his latest solo work, “El border brujo” draws from his 30-year-old “living archive” and combines new and classic performance material to present a unique perspective on the immediate future of the Americas. His self-styled “imaginary activism” invokes performance art as a form of radical democracy and citizenship.
Combining spoken word poetry, activist theory, radical storytelling, and language experimentation, Gómez-Peña offers critical and humorous commentary about the art world, academia, new technologies, the culture of war and violence in the US, organized crime in Mexico, gender and race politics, and the latest wave of complications surrounding gentrification in the “creative city.”
Besides his international work with the legendary troupe La Pocha Nostra, Gómez-Peña has presented his solo work at museums, universities, galleries and theatres throughout the US, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Australia and South Africa.
His unique format reveals to an audience the process of creating, “languaging,” and performing material and this process becomes the actual project. It is precisely in his new solo work where Gómez-Peña’s literature, theory, activism, pedagogy and live art come together in a wonderfully strange mix.
Gómez-Peña has spent many years developing his unique solo style, which has been described as “a combination of embodied poetry, performance activism, and theatricalizations of postcolonial theory.” In his ten books, as in his live performances, digital art, videos and photo-performances, he pushes the boundaries still further, exploring what’s left for artists to do in a repressive global culture of censorship, paranoid nationalism and what he terms “the mainstream bizarre.” Gómez-Peña examines where this leaves the critical practice of artists who aim to make tactical, performative interventions into our notions of culture, race, and sexuality. Most recently he has also been exploring the poetic and activist use of new technologies and social media.
Bio: Guillermo Gómez-Peña (US/Mexico) is a performance artist, writer, activist, radical pedagogue, and director of the performance troupe La Pocha Nostra. Born in Mexico City, he moved to the US in 1978. His performance work and 11 books have contributed to the debates on cultural and gender diversity, border culture, and US/Mexico relations. His artwork has been presented at over nine hundred venues across the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Russia, South Africa, and Australia. A MacArthur Fellow, Bessie and American Book Award winner, he is a regular contributor for newspapers and magazines in the US, Mexico, and Europe and a contributing editor to The Drama Review (NYU/MIT) and the Live Art Almanac (Live Art Development Agency-UK). Gómez-Peña is a Senior Fellow in the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, and a Patron for the London-based Live Art Development Agency. He was named a Samuel Hoi Fellow by USA Artists in 2012 and received a Eureka Fellowship from the Fleishhacker Foundation in 2013.

SUMMARY
=======
The Viceroyalty of New Spain (Spanish: Virreinato de Nueva España [birei̯ˈnato ðe ˈnweβa esˈpaɲa]) was an integral territorial entity of the Spanish Empire, established by Habsburg Spain during the Spanish colonization of the Americas. It covered a huge area that included territories in North America, Central America, Asia and Oceania. It originated after the fall of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, the main event of the Spanish conquest, which did not properly end until much later, as its territory continued to grow to the north. It was officially created on 8 March 1535 as a viceroyalty (Spanish: virreinato), the first of four viceroyalties Spain created in the Americas. Its first viceroy was Antonio de Mendoza y Pacheco, and the capital of the viceroyalty was Mexico City, established on the ancient Mexico-Tenochtitlan.
It included what is now Mexico plus the current U.S. states of California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Florida and parts of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana; as well as the southwestern part of British Columbia of present-day Canada; plus the Captaincy General of Guatemala (which included the current countries of Guatemala, the Mexican state of Chiapas, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua); the Captaincy General of Cuba (current Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago and Guadeloupe); and the Captaincy General of the Philippines (including the Philippines, Guam, the Caroline Islands, the Mariana Islands and the short lived Spanish Formosa in modern day northern Taiwan).
The political organization divided the viceroyalty into kingdoms and captaincies general. The kingdoms were those of New Spain (different from the viceroyalty itself); Nueva Galicia (1530); Captaincy General of Guatemala (1540); Nueva Vizcaya (1562); New Kingdom of León (1569); Santa Fe de Nuevo México (1598); Nueva Extremadura (1674) and Nuevo Santander (1746). There were four captaincies: Captaincy General of the Philippines (1574), Captaincy General of Cuba, Captaincy General of Puerto Rico and Captaincy General of Santo Domingo. These territorial subdivisions had a governor and captain general (who in New Spain was the viceroy himself, who added this title to his other dignities). In Guatemala, Santo Domingo and Nueva Galicia, these officials were called presiding governors, since they were leading real audiences. For this reason, these hearings were considered praetorial.
There were two great estates. The most important was the Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca, property of Hernán Cortés and his descendants that included a set of vast territories where marquises had civil and criminal jurisdiction, and the right to grant land, water and forests and within which were their main possessions (cattle ranches, agricultural work, sugar mills, fulling houses and shipyards). The other estate was the Duchy of Atlixco, granted in 1708, by King Philip V to José Sarmiento de Valladares, former viceroy of New Spain and married to the Countess of Moctezuma, with civil and criminal jurisdiction over Atlixco, Tepeaca, Guachinango, Ixtepeji and Tula de Allende. King Charles III introduced reforms in the organization of the viceroyalty in 1786, known as Bourbon reforms, which created the intendencias, which allowed to limit, in some way, the viceroy's attributions.
New Spain developed highly regional divisions, reflecting the impact of climate, topography, indigenous populations, and mineral resources. The areas of central and southern Mexico had dense indigenous populations with complex social, political, and economic organization. The northern area of Mexico, a region of nomadic and semi-nomadic indigenous populations, was not generally conducive to dense settlements, but the discovery of silver in Zacatecas in the 1540s drew settlement there to exploit the mines. Silver mining not only became ...

In an era of ever-growing pharmaceutical enhancement, what counts as intellectually disabled, and why would that matter? How does the way we define disability (and normalcy) impact the just distribution of resources in society — and the way society treats those who happen to fall outside the norm? How are foundational concepts in ethics like dignity or autonomy complicated by reflection on the many ways we are dependent on others in the course of any “normal” human lifespan?

11 REASONS why you DON'T want to be a YouTuber
Having a YouTube channel might seem awesome, but these are the dirty details nobody really talks about.
►Join us on PATREON:
Being a YouTuber seems like the coolest job in the world and there are a ton of great things that come with it! However, if you’re thinking about getting started on YouTube in 2019, there are some MAJOR downsides of earning a living from YouTube that you may not have thought about.
Do you know what it’s like to have EVERY aspect of your life judged and criticized? This is just a reality of being a YouTuber - along with many other downsides. When you start off as a vlogger on YouTube in 2019, you probably won’t notice this right away. But, as your channel gets bigger, you’ll learn more about YouTube behind the scenes.
You might be wondering “How much do YouTubers make?” Probably not as much as you think. Some vloggers earn a ton of money every year but they are in the small minority. Influencer life sounds glamorous but being a YouTuber is HARD! You wouldn’t believe the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes and the dedication it takes to grow a successful YouTube channel.

Antiquarianism Symposium: Entangled Traditions
Antiquarianisms Across the Atlantic
Friday, November 13th-Saturday, November 14th, 2015
Antiquarianism and collecting have been associated intimately with European imperial and colonial enterprises; however, both existed long before the early modern period and both were (and continue to be) practiced by people other than Europeans. This symposium aims to trouble the divide between local and foreign antiquarian traditions by focusing on case studies drawn primarily from the eastern Mediterranean and central and South America.

Hotel Humboldt, un milagro en el Ávila HD (English subtitles)
La película documental Hotel Humboldt, un milagro en el Ávila realizada por Federico Prieto, revela, con todo el detalle posible, la historia a veces anónima, otras veces oculta, que se revela detrás de la construcción de una de las obras más emblemáticas del intenso e importante proceso de modernización de la ciudad de Caracas, ocurrido en las décadas de los cuarenta y cincuenta del siglo XX.
Para su elaboración, además de la profunda investigación documental sobre el tema, realizada en publicaciones periódicas nacionales y extranjeras de la época, y de indagar todo lo que se pudo sobre el verdadero papel que cumplió el conde Vladimir de Bertren, a quien hay que atribuirle una buena parte del mérito de que este milagro en el Ávila se haya ejecutado, se contó con la inmensa fortuna de poder entrevistar a cuatro de los protagonistas principales de este proyecto arquitectónico, y que entre todos, casualmente, cubren aspectos fundamentales de esta ambiciosa y peculiar obra.
Se trata del arquitecto Tomás José Sanabria (1922-2008), quien realizó el diseño arquitectónico; del ingeniero Oscar Urreiztieta (1928-2008), responsable de la elaboración de todos los cálculos estructurales; del ingeniero Gustavo Larrazábal (1925), quien en representación del cliente (el Estado venezolano) gerenció y supervisó los trabajos y, finalmente, de Francisco Mastropaolo, propietario de la empresa encargada de construir esta inapreciable edificación.
La visión de estos cuatro protagonistas se completa y articula con otra mirada, la que fija las claves de la valoración contemporánea y en perspectiva de la obra. Con esta finalidad entrevistamos al historiador Rafael Arráiz Lucca (1959), a los arquitectos Federico Vegas (1950), Marco Negrón (1938) y William Niño Araque (1953 - 2010), así como al economista Alfredo Morles (1927). Estas nueve entrevistas fueron hechas entre los años 2005 y 2007.
Esta película forma parte de la obra multimedia Hotel Humboldt, un milagro en el Ávila cuyos autores son Joaquín Marta Sosa, Grégory Vertullo y Federico Prieto. Editada por Fundavag Ediciones, Caracas, 2014.
----------------------------------------
The documentary Hotel Humboldt, a miracle on the Avila by Federico Prieto, reveals with as much detail as possible, the sometimes anonymous, sometimes hidden, story behind the construction of one of the most emblematic works of the intense and monumental modernization process of the city of Caracas that occurred during the 40s and 50s of the twentieth century.
For its preparation, in addition to the documentary research on the subject carried out in local and foreign periodicals of the time, and to exploring all he could regarding the true role of Count Vladimir de Bertren - who must be given much of the credit for the fact that this miracle on the Ávila was actually executed - Prieto had the great fortune to interview four of the main protagonists behind this architectural project, and who between them conversationally and anecdotically analyze the fundamental aspects of this ambitious and marvelous work.
Architect José Tomás Sanabria (1922-2008) produced the architectural design; engineer Oscar Urreiztieta (1928-2008) was responsible for the preparation of all the structural calculations; engineer Gustavo Larrazabal (1925), on behalf of the client (the Venezuelan state), managed and oversaw the work and, finally, Francisco Mastropaolo, owner of the company in charge of constructing this priceless building.
The memories of these four men is completed and articulated with another vision, one that establishes the tone of a contemporary assessment and perspective of the work. To this end Prieto interviewed historian Rafael Arráiz Lucca (1959), architects Federico Vegas (1950), Marco Negrón (1938) and William Niño Araque (1953-2010) and the economist Alfredo Morles (1927). These nine interviews were conducted between 2005 and 2007.
This film is part of the multimedia work Hotel Humboldt, a miracle on the Ávila authored by Joaquín Marta Sosa, Grégory Vertullo and Federico Prieto and published by Fundavag Ediciones, Caracas, 2014.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Mexico (Spanish: México [ˈmexiko] (listen); Nahuatl languages: Mēxihco), officially the United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos, listen ), is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Covering almost 2,000,000 square kilometres (770,000 sq mi), the nation is the fifth largest country in the Americas by total area and the 13th largest independent state in the world. With an estimated population of over 120 million people, the country is the eleventh most populous state and the most populous Spanish-speaking state in the world, while being the second most populous nation in Latin America after Brazil. Mexico is a federation comprising 31 states and Mexico City, a special federal entity that is also the capital city and its most populous city. Other metropolises in the state include Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Toluca, and Tijuana.
Pre-Columbian Mexico dates to about 8000 BC and is identified as one of five cradles of civilization and was home to many advanced Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya, and Aztec before first contact with Europeans. In 1521, the Spanish Empire conquered and colonized the territory from its politically powerful base in Mexico-Tenochtitlan (part of Mexico City), which was administered as the viceroyalty of New Spain. Three centuries later, the territory became a nation state following its recognition in 1821 after the colony's Mexican War of Independence. The post-independence period was tumultuous, characterized by economic inequality and many contrasting political changes. The Mexican–American War (1846–1848) led to a territorial cession of the extant northern territories to the United States. The Pastry War, the Franco-Mexican War, a civil war, two empires, and the Porfiriato occurred in the 19th century. The Porfiriato was ended by the start of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, which culminated with the promulgation of the 1917 Constitution and the emergence of the country's current political system as a federal, democratic republic.
Mexico has the 15th largest nominal GDP and the 11th largest by purchasing power parity. The Mexican economy is strongly linked to those of its 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners, especially the United States. In 1994, Mexico became the first Latin American member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It is classified as an upper-middle income country by the World Bank and a newly industrialized country by several analysts. The country is considered both a regional power and a middle power, and is often identified as an emerging global power. Due to its rich culture and history, Mexico ranks first in the Americas and seventh in the world for number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Mexico is an ecologically megadiverse country, ranking fourth in the world for its biodiversity. Mexico has many tourists: in 2016, it was the eighth most-visited country in the world, with 35 million international arrivals. Mexico is a member of the United Nations (UN), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the G8+5, the G20, the Uniting for Consensus group of the UN, and the Pacific Alliance trade bloc.
