...from a birds eye view. The ultralight roared liberation with every stroke of its four cylinder engine. No boundaries and no walls keeping me from the open sky the freeing feeling was reinforced by the red white and blue wings that stretched out like that of an eagle. The wind dried my tears as it milked my eyes at the same time. Every time we dove suddenly I could feel the aluminum body giving because I was clenching it too tightly. Sometimes I couldn’t tell if we were on the ground, or in the air because we were flying so low. Back winds kept pushing us forward as if it were telling us go faster, go faster. Everything was so small from up there. It reminded me of a model rail road I had as a child, and like the People Mover at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, when my flip flop slipped off my foot, and landed on top of a concession stand. I too could have slip right out of the wall-less ultralight if I wanted to. We flew over the old horse ranch I used to work at; it took me a few seconds to assure myself that it indeed was the same ranch. One day I will be back up there. I will feel the leather yoke in my hands, and the wind blowing through my hair. For now I have my memory, but my freedom will be stifled until I can fly...

Es así que mientras el cuerpo aguanta le dan como si fuera ajeno. Un muchacho de esta laya era Victorino Suárez gran amigo de la juerga, de la fortuna y de las mujeres. Cierta noche, después de haber bebido hasta altas horas de la noche, luego de despedirse de sus amigos, muy alegre se dirigía a su casa por las calles desiertas de esas horas alumbradas sólo de trecho en trecho por las últimas velas de los faroles públicos cuando de improviso se le presentó una mujer toda vestida de negro. En la casi completa oscuridad se podía vislumbrar las formas femeninas de la mujer, formas que despertaron el machismo de Victorino, quien...

...Códice Vadiano (Badiano) El Libellus de medicinalibus indorum herbis (Librito sobre las hierbas medicinales de los indios) también conocido como Códice De la Cruz-Badiano, Códice Badiano o Códice Barberini, es el primer tratado que describe las propiedades curativas de las plantas americanas empleadas entre los mexicas. Este libro fue obra del médico indígena Martín de la Cruz, originario de Santiago Tlatelolco y asociado al Colegio de la Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco quien dictó varios remedios contra las enfermedades y posiblemente registrado originalmente en náhuatl y que, posteriormente, el xochimilca Juan Badiano, estudiante del Colegio de la Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco, traduciría al latín, esta obra se terminó el 22 de julio de 1552 Jacobo de Grado, fraile encargado del Convento y Colegio de la Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco, tenía en su posesión el texto creado y traducido para Francisco de Mendoza, hijo de Antonio de Mendoza, primer virrey de Nueva España. Mendoza envió el texto a España, donde fue depositado en la biblioteca real. Es probable que haya permanecido ahí hasta el siglo XVII, cuando apareció en posesión de Diego de Cortavila y Sanabria, farmacéutico de Felipe IV. De Cortavila pasó al cardenal italiano Francesco Barberini, quizá a través de interpósitos propietarios. El Libellus permaneció en la biblioteca de Barberini hasta 1902, cuando ella misma pasó a formar parte de la Biblioteca Vaticana. En 1990, el papa Juan Pablo II devolvió el códice a México, donde es custodiado...

...Chapter 1 | Foundations of Information Systems in Business The Fundamental Roles of IS in Business Support of Business Processes and Operations . As a consumer, you regularly encounter information systems that support the business processes and operations at the many retail stores where you shop. For example, most retail stores now use computer-based information systems to help their employees record customer purchases, keep track of inventory, pay employees, buy new merchandise, and evaluate sales trends. Store operations would grind to a halt without the support of such information systems. Support of Business Decision Making . Information systems also help store managers and other business professionals make better decisions. For example, decisions about what lines of merchandise need to be added or discontinued and what kind of investments they require are typically made after an analysis provided by computer-based information systems. This function not only supports the decision making of store managers, buyers, and others, but also helps them look for ways to gain an advantage over other retailers in the competition for customers. Support of Strategies for Competitive Advantage . Gaining a strategic advantage over competitors requires the innovative application of information technologies. For example, store management might make a decision to install touch-screen kiosks in all stores, with links to the e-commerce Web site for online shopping. This offering might attract...

...Gabriel Garcia Marquez One Hundred Years of Solitude Chapter 1 MANY YEARS LATER as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. At that time Macondo was a village of twenty adobe houses, built on the bank of a river of clear water that ran along a bed of polished stones, which were white and enormous, like prehistoric eggs. The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point. Every year during the month of March a family of ragged gypsies would set up their tents near the village, and with a great uproar of pipes and kettledrums they would display new inventions. First they brought the magnet. A heavy gypsy with an untamed beard and sparrow hands, who introduced himself as Melquíades, put on a bold public demonstration of what he himself called the eighth wonder of the learned al-chemists of Macedonia. He went from house to house dragging two metal ingots and everybody was amazed to see pots, pans, tongs, and braziers tumble down from their places and beams creak from the desperation of nails and screws trying to emerge, and even objects that had been lost for a long time appeared from where they had been searched for most and went dragging along in turbulent confusion behind Melquíades’ magical irons. “Things have a life of their own,” the gypsy proclaimed with a harsh accent. “It’s simply a matter of waking up their souls.” José...

...Content A fraternity (Latin frater : "brother") is a brotherhood, although the term sometimes connotes a distinct or formal organization and sometimes a secret society. A fraternity (or fraternal organization) is an organized society of men associated together in an environment of companionship and brotherhood; dedicated to the intellectual, physical, and social development of its members. History There are known fraternal organizations which existed as far back as ancient Greece and in the Mithraic Mysteries of ancient Rome. Analogous institutions developed in the late medieval period called confraternities, which were lay organizations allied to the Catholic Church. Some were groups of men and women who were endeavoring to ally themselves more closely with the prayer and activity of the Church; Others were groups of tradesmen, which are more commonly referred to as guilds. These later confraternities evolved into purely secular fraternal societies, while the ones with religious goals continue to be the format of the modern Third Orders affiliated with the mendicant orders. The development of modern fraternal orders was especially dynamic in the United States, where the freedom to associate outside governmental regulation is expressly sanctioned in law. There have been hundreds of fraternal organizations in the United States, and at the beginning of the 20th century the number of memberships equaled the number of adult males. (Due to multiple memberships, probably only 50%...

...Vol. 14 Nº 27 Ben Tran: Green Management: The reality of Being Green in Business 21 GREEN MANAGEMENT: THE REALITY OF BEING GREEN IN BUSINESS GESTIÓN VERDE: LA REALIDAD DE LA SOSTENIBILIDAD ECOLÓGICA EN LA GESTIÓN GERENCIAL Ben Tran1 ABSTRACT Green management and going green are not as clear cut and easy as hyped by the general media. While going ecologically green is indeed beneficial and appropriate, the process and procedure of becoming green is anything but easy. Firstly, turning green is largely not a legal requirement, but a voluntary process. Thus, even though LEED (which is by far the more publicly known green certification standard) governs the certification of the green management effort, it is not a compulsory condition for practitioners to go green. Secondly, even with the encouragement of incentives to comply, practitioners are skeptical in becoming green due to: (a) a lack of true understanding of the benefit of ecologically friendly procedures (the practice of profits versus the theory of benefits); (b) lack of short term gain in life cycle costing (practitioners want instant incentives); and (c) mostly, because it is not a legal requirement for the vast majority of municipalities. Keywords: Green management, green business practices, barriers toward green management, encouragement & incentives for green management, LEED Certification.
