The Texas Citrus Fiesta has remained an exciting celebration since its beginnings in 1932. At that time, Mission civic leaders decided to promote the citrus industry through a festival featuring decorated streets and store windows, a parade, coronation of a king and queen, a court with ladies-in-waiting, a queen's ball, exhibits for citrus growers, and a variety of contests and activities. Social leaders, working through their clubs, added a style show of costumes covered with fruit, vegetable, and flower pieces. Children marched in their own unique parade. The Golden Grapefruit Golf Tournament was added in 1934. Today, directors of the Texas Citrus Fiesta continue these traditional events and others added since 1932. The creativity inspired by the festival, the recognition of regional participants, and the experienced planning needed to accommodate thousands of residents and visitors combine to make Mission's annual Texas Citrus Fiesta a premier event in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

Diese Dissertation stellt ein Datenmodell zur Repräsentation experimentbasierter Datensätze aus dem Forschungsgebiet der multimodalen Kommunikation vor. Es werden Belege für die Existenz verschiedener Probleme und Unzulänglichkeiten in der Arbeit mit multimodalen Datensammlungen aufgezeigt. Diese resultieren aus (a) einer Analyse bestehender multimodaler Korpora und (b) einer Umfrage, an der Wissenschaftlerinnen teilgenommen haben, die zu konkreten Problemen in der Arbeit mit ihren multimodalen Datensammlungen befragt wurden. Auf dieser Grundlage wird herausgearbeitet, dass trotz der Existenz einer Vielzahl von Datenmodellen und Formalismen zur Darstellung klassischer Textkorpora sich diese nicht eignen, um die den multimodalen Korpora eigenen Besonderheiten abbilden zu können. Aus diesem Grund wird ein Datenmodell entwickelt, das all jene spezifischen Eigenschaften multimodaler Korpora zu berücksichtigen sucht. Dieses Datenmodell bietet Lösungen speziell für die Arbeit mit einer oder mehreren Zeitachsen und Raumkoordinaten, für die Darstellung komplexer Annotationswerte, und für die Transformation zwischen verschiedenen (bisher inkompatiblen) Dateiformaten verbreiteter Annotationswerkzeuge.
A fall festival turns murderous in this haunting and wholly unforgettable sixth Black Horse Campground mystery from the author of A Summer to Remember. With a mix of Anglo, Native, and Hispanic cultures, the village of Bonney, New Mexico, has its share of folklore and legends, but no one has ever heard of the Ghost Girls before. Three high school girls have convinced their fellow students that they have powers, but now that they’re graduating, new recruits are needed to carry on the tradition. One night, the Ghost Girls take a hopeful prospect to the cemetery, where they discover a missing kid—and a recently-deceased man. The child is Mark Jr., the son of Corrie’s best friend. And the corpse? The high school principal. Mark had been causing so much trouble at school that he’d been suspended, but Corrie can’t believe he’s a killer. As the village of Bonney gathers for the annual San Ignacio Fall Festival at the Black Horse Campground, Sheriff Rick Sutton and Det. J. D. Wilder uncover a web of bullying, hatred, and revenge—in which nothing is sacred. Not the school. Not the church. And definitely not Corrie’s campground . . .

¿Cuáles son los días de fiesta bíblica y cómo debemos celebrarlos? Se nos ha ordenado mantener los días de fiesta para siempre. Mire el libro de Levítico 23: 2, 4, 44. El versículo 2 el Altísimo está hablando a Moisés: "Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles: Sobre las fiestas del Señor, que proclamaréis ser santas convocaciones, incluso estas son mis fiestas ".¿Notaron que YAHUAH dice: "... mi fiesta ..." Esta es la clave; debes entender esto; estas fiestas son suyas; Se nos indica que los mantengamos de una manera particular por una razón. Mire el versículo 4, que dice: "Estas son las fiestas del Señor, incluso las convocaciones santas, que proclamarán en sus estaciones". Lea el versículo 44: "Y Moisés declaró a los hijos de Israel las fiestas del Señor". Vemos una vez más, estas son las fiestas de YAHUAH. Ahora, estas fiestas tienen que ver con las estaciones; ¿Por qué es eso importante? Vaya a 1 Crónicas 23:31, dice: "Y ofrecer todos los sacrificios quemados al Señor en los días de reposo, en las lunas nuevas y en las fiestas establecidas, por número, de acuerdo con el orden que se les ordenó, continuamente antes del Señor:"
Fiction. In English translation. José María Arguedas is one of the few Latin American authors who loved and described his natural surroundings, and he ranks among the greatest writers of any time and place. He saw the beauty of the Peruvian landscape, as well as the grimness of social conditions in the Andes, through the eyes of the Indians who are a part of it. Yawar Fiesta describes the social relations between Indians, mestizos, and whites in the Peruvian highland town of Puquio in the early twentieth century. Each group’s reaction to the national government’s attempt to suppress the traditional Indian-style bullfight reflects their attitude toward social change more generally. Included with the text of the novel is Arguedas’ anthropological essay “Puquio: A Culture in the Process of Change,” written eighteen years after Yawar Fiesta. The article emphasizes the social changes in the village that resulted from the road construction described in the novel. While Arguedas’ poetry was published in Quechua, he invented a language for his novels in which he used native syntax with Spanish vocabulary, making translation into other languages extremely difficult. Frances Horning Barraclough has met the challenge and produced an excellent work that remains faithful to the author’s use of language to reflect with lived experience of Peruvian Indians.
